What size wheels can I fit? Group: Members Posts: 4,645 Joined: 5-April 05 From: Scottsdale, AZ Member No.: 3,881 Region Association: Southwest Region |
I was screwing around with the wiring on my radio yesterday and heard a snap crackle pop. Now my radio and my wipers don't work. Not sure why. I didn't think they were hooked up on the same fuse. Besides that, I have checked all fuses and everything appears to be good. I checked the fuse panel, none are blown. I replaced one fuse on the stereo as is blew but the other one was fine.
Everything worked before I attempted to "clean up the wiring." Now the wipers and rado are MIA. Any suggestions? Below shows where I hooked the radio into the fuse panel. Any advice is appreciated! Attached image(s) |

MW914,
You say you have power on Fuse S8 (Fourth from the right) when the ignition is on but, your radio and wipers don't work? There are three RD/BK wires on the output side of S8. If you have power on both sides of S8 then you should have power on the wipers, the cigarette lighter and the fresh air blower. If your radio (connected at S8) and the wipers don't work, then there is a disconnect in logic (as well as power) somewhere. Recommend you replace the fuse on S8 and carefully recheck for 12 Volts on both sides of S8. Also, check the fresh air blower (center console) and cigarette lighter for 12 Volts when the ignition is on. Let us know what you find. Thanks, Phil |
