i replaced all the fuses on the fuse block today, many looked quite sorry indeed. now, after doing so, the headlights do not rotate up or turn on, no fog lights, and no wipers either. on the front of the fuse panel, all fuses are good, and i think they're all in their correct places. on the backside, everything looks good. there is, however, a wire up under the dash, near the fuse panel but not connected to it, that is a single spade with four brown wires. does this go anywhere on the block? and if not, what would happen if it had touched something on the back of the fuse panel?
thanks for any help. i did consult the color wiring diagrams, they are little help to me unfortunately. i'm good mechanically, but not much of an electrician. i would very much like for my headlights to work! ~a |

QUOTE(ejm @ Mar 14 2004, 03:59 AM) Multiple brown wires into one connector sounds like the grounds near the fuse box. There should be a 6mm stud on the inside of left bracket that the fuse box mounts to. If it has broken off any good ground to the body will work just as well. i see that ground connector, and it's fine. these are a different set of four brown wires, with a rubber-coated spade connector on the end. it was floating around above the fuse block somewhere, so i wondered if it belonged plugged into the block. apparently it does not, and i fear that the wire came into contact with one or more of the open spades on the fuse block, causing something to go very bad. hence the sudden absence of my headlights, fog lights, etc. signals work ok, as do brake and dash lights. here are some pictures: (IMG:http://www.doubleadesignandconsulting.com/car/wires2.jpg) and the fuses are all good, but still no headlights, fog lights, wipers... could that brown wire have screwed something up?
