So I have a recurring electrical problem in which my front marker lights, rear marker lights and rear tail light do not work.
I have traced down the wiring, see no problems. Cut open the harness and inspected as much as I can see (which is most of it) and still see NO problems (melting, arcing, etc.). Tonight I cleaned ALL the grounds (under relay tray, trans strap, fuse box, etc.). I then pulled all of the affected bulbs and planned to put them back in 1 by 1 until the fuse blew. Didn't get that far. As soon as I pulled the switch out the fuse blew. This leads me to believe that wires are arcing somewhere, but as indicated, I see no visible melting or arcing. Does anyone have any ideas? I am at the point where I am willing to re-wire the circuit to fix the problem. Anyone have any ideas before I re-wire this b**ch? Thanks. |

Still looking for any suggestions you guys might have. There's gotta be more people out there with some experience with electrical problems -- come on, these cars are at least 28 years old, and that's the newest one! I have very little experience with 30 year old electrical systems. Elbows from a**holes so to speak. |
