I've been trying to track down an electrical problem with my FI and I've found more problems.
1. When I turn on the ignition switch I blow fuse #9. The Haynes manual says that this fuse powers the turn signals, brake lights and back-up lights. Also, I noticed that the buzzer sounds when I turn on the key, regardless of both doors closed or open. Anyway, I disconnected the brake light switch at the brake pedal, all of the wires to the turn signals and disconnected the back-up light wire at the tranny but the fuse still blows, which then stops the buzzer. 2. No power to the coil. I've replaced the ignition switch with another one, but I'm still not getting any power at the coil. I've checked the continuity between the ignition switch and the coil. I have power to all pin #30s on the relay board in the engine compartment. I have power at the large red wire at the ignition switch. I feel that I'm very close to getting this car running, but with these electrical gremlins I'm extremely frustrated...(IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Any suggestions and/or guidance would be greatly appreciated.... -- Rob |

great job Rob. Well, I'm back in town and working on the car. The loose red/white wire was definately shorting out on the dash. I plugged it back and and no more fuse popping.... Steve, thanks again for taking the time and effort to help me with this problem... 904svo, it was your suggestion that was the final solution, thanks again.... -- Rob |
