While at gas station 4 days ago, I reached in to release the hood to fill the tank. I grabbed the fuse panel and 3 fuses fell out. I was a block from home so I waiting until I got home to put them back in.
I didn't pay attention to what fuses they were. After putting them back in, I noticed the left side parking lights were on. The turn lever was in the neutral position. The right side works as it should. Turn signals and hazard flasher work as they should. I have a good schematic thanks to Jeff but I lack the ability to troubleshoot this #5 fuse circuit. I don't necessarily need this "feature" and can just leave the fuse out, but it worked before and I would like to have it back to normal. I reenacted my motions, dropped the fuse panel and inspected it closely for short or grounds, dropped and changed the headlight switch and hazard switch. After 3 days I've gone as far as I can without some help. Looking for help from those who may of had a problem with this circuit. It's getting 12V from somewhere. It's a 75.. Thanks. Bill |

Bill,
I can't give you a quick answer here. I just have never had the need to troubleshoot that circuit. What I will do is look at the prints and draw up some diagrams to try to understand it better and see what I can come up with. Tom |
