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,
Yes, there should be continuity between 30 and 30b. The wire that now goes to 30b and on to fuse 5 is wrong. The wire that goes from the headlight switch to fuse 5 should be coming from 58L. Did you understand my post on reading the prints? I can give you a call and coach you if needed, just let me know., and PM me your number. That headlight switch contact 30b goes to the headlight motors. What wire currently goes to the contact 58L? I think that is where your problem lies. Find it and put it on 30b and the wire currently on 30b to 58L and try that. Tom |
