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. |

Here are some photos...
PIN 12 (depending on diagram--some say Pin 1)- Supply. That connection goes to the ignition (I believe). That was replaced by the PO at some point in it's history. The connection goes from there to the connection by the fuse panel. I had to cut the wire to get factory connector off (eyelet style)--the second bare wire there was also connected to the same wire, but didn't suffer the same melt. I am very keen on burning electrical smells...and I've never once smelled anything "burning" in the car. Dad was in avionics and my other hobby is old audio equipment...so it's in my genes to suss out bad wiring, I guess! |
