I'm in the depths of a full dash replacement and I'm need to figure out a situation.
I have a couple things to address. FUSE 11 (Hazard / Interior Light) has never worked-dead short immediately. I thought I remember someone saying that I need to look at the ground under the passenger seat and the passenger door switch as possible issues there. But I also have a some weirdness with the Hazard too... There is a new square relay installed and some wires cut in from the factory hazard switcher. The turn signals are all working, but I need to get the hazards operational. And on top of that, I discovered this red wire, long melted...will splice in a new wire, but thought the group might be able to point me in a direction. I know I have a color wiring chart...off to the archives for it to start looking for things. |

About the blue/white wire shorted to the brown wire on the flasher, likely the flasher installed does not drive the K/C2 pin as the OEM flasher did so the PO shorted the blue/white wire to brown wire basically shorting K/C2 to ground which is what I do for the EP26 LED-compatible flasher as shown below.
It could be too that the flasher installed only has 3 pins and doesn't have the K/C2 pin at all. If the Left and Right turnsignals work, then the flashers will work too as long as the flasher switch is functional. For that burned red wire, at some point the wire tried to pretend to be a fuse but looks like it failed as a fuse and just melted the insulation. If you wanted to remove that wire from service, find out where it starts and ends and just add a new wire and leave the original wire in the loop as it would be nearly impossible to remove the old wire. |
