Paper Bag Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) Like the title said, in the process or replacing the stereo something got touched, the clock light went out - and the power to the radio is also gone. I've checked all the fusible links ( test light touched to both sides... is there another way?) and both the fuses under the panel beside the battery. Not sure how to check relays though... so any info would help. I've seen the thread about pulling the seat belt assembly and cleaning the contacts, which I've done... seatbelts were working until I touched the wrong wire apparently. The owner before the previous owner made a mess of all the wiring behind the radio. I didn't touch the box or the wiring that controls the seatbelts in there... and the wiring to that is unmolested. Can anybody help? How can I check relays? What else can I check? Power windows work and locks work - dome light isn't working nor is the clock backlight... The headlights only work on one speed now also. Edited January 13, 2014 by Paper Bag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paper Bag Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Also there is a beeping that coincides with the seatbelt light on the dash flashing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paper Bag Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Is it the etacs? Power windows work, lock works, no clue if I have a security system or not. Power door locks work. Is there another fusebox I'm missing somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paper Bag Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 The FSM is really zero help because the electrical sections really gives no real area to look where the problem is coming from. The wiring diagram gives me no clues as to where to find its location in relation to the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87star Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Have you looked at the cabin fuses, drivers side lower left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paper Bag Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) Found them. Thank you! I've been freaking out looking for a damn fusebox. Finally stumbled into it while trying to trace some wiring. Turned out to be the number 1 fuse. Edited January 13, 2014 by Paper Bag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfighterpilot Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 It sounds like you have done your homework Paper Bag, BUT, I'd suggest that you understand what pages 8-102 through 105 are defining as power sources fuses and how they relate to all of the other electrical system schematics in Chapter 8. This isn't necessarily for you but for the other Newbies which are new to the Starquests. For What It's Worth. KEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAinsworth Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 I would also suggest that anytime you mess with electrical stuff, disconnect the battery first.Jimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
