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) |

A couple of suggestions: Get a schematic (if you don't have one), and always disconnect the battery when moving wires or the fuse panel. There are way too many wires in this car which have a direct connection to the battery without a fuse. Fuse 8 in my schematic operates the wipers, ciggy lighter, as well as the idiot light for oil pressure, blinkers, backup light, idiot light for the alternator, and low fuel light. If this circuit is dead, all of these should be out. Also Fuse 8 in my schematic is the fifth from the right. When the key is in the on position with the engine off, the oil pressure and alternator lights should be out. Don't leave the key in the ON position with the engine on for long as the distributor points or coil could overheat or if you have a Pertronix unit, it could be damaged. Fuses listed on my schematic are: 1. High beam left 2. High beam right 3. Dimmer left 4. Dimmer right 5. Clearance light left 6. Clearance light right 7. License plate light 8. Brake, Blinker, Backup light, wiper, cig lighter 9. Fresh air blower, Horn, Heater fan 10. Fog Lamp 11. Interior light, warning light, buzzer 12. Motor for retractable headlight. Good luck Spoke |
