Does anybody make a ciruit breaker for the fuse panel that replaces a fuse so to pin down a wiring problem? The circuit breaker would replace the fuse and fit in the fuse panel so when you try and track down the wiring issue the circuit breaker would click off and could be reset. This way you could save a ton of money buying fuses.

what does #9 control? can't remember off the top of my head. if you have had the rear bumper off of your car and develop a consistant electrical prob you need to examine the connections for the license plate lights at the lights and where they pass thru the body for chaffing. the little tiny wires can produce a host of issues. a headlight hi-low switching fuse malfunction is one example. i chased this for a day or 2. i went back to *what was the last thing i did before the prob started*... i had r&r the rear bumper. it was the wires.

Last day I drove the car before putting it to sleep for the winter I was driving on a road that was bumpy as hell. I remember saying to myself this damn road is brutal. I look down at my gauges and all the gauges were out, no gas gauge, no nothing except the gen. light was on. Took it home, replaced the fuse and it blew the fuse. I put the car to bed for the winter. Now its time to hunt down the culprit, I have no turn signals, no gauges at. Something somewhere is shorted out. Matter of tracking it down. I hate this shit. |
