MOre electrical problems
 
Can anyone tell me where the ground is for the taillights and dashlights

BASTARD 08-27-06 12:25 AM

you will find that there is more then one ground... usually a black wire connected to the chassis via a nut or bolt... IIRC the dash ground is integrated in the harness... best to look at the wire schematics in a service manual... the first few pages of the wiring diagrams chapter will show you how to read the schematics and identify the different circuits...

why are you looking for the grounds?

BASTARD 08-27-06 12:47 AM

ok, i just looked at all your light/fuse related threads... first you only need to start one thread in the 2nd section to get the answers you need...

second you need to use logic and common sense when diagnosing electrical issues... what is the last thing you did to your car before this started happening... new radio? new car alarm?... use bailing wire to hold anything in place?... cut or splice into any wires? add fog lights?... is your car salvaged? add a 2 dollar electrical gimick from ebay? plug a dell lab top into the cigerette lighter

you need the proper tools

you need to buy at least a FSM (factory service manual) for the wire diagrams and a test probe or power probe for testing

there is only one reason you are blowing fuses... too much electricity flowing thru the fuse

so, you must have a short somewhere (or you spliced in to a wire with a high amp draw like a audio amplifier) ... this means that one of the power wires is touching a ground (whether it is a ground wire or part of the chassis)

you will have to isolate each wire related to that circuit and test it to see if it open or closed

well goog god damn they use wires to ground things thats cool i didnt know they made black wires. thanks for trying to be cool and smart. I thought schematics were only good for the dinner table. :fawk:

WOW not only did BASTARD go out of his way to get very detailed and involved but he read your other posts and you come back like a complete smart ass? People here are generally nice and there is no way for someone to know your level of expertise if you havent stated it. People tend to try to help on a first grade level. It is not intended to be degrading simply keeps the need for going backwards and re-explaining simple procedures to a minimum. Your respect and patience are not only appreciated but almost required to participate on this forum.

I see you're from TN. Being from TN also, I think I speak for all TN 7 owners... we disown you.

You = red headed step child that we lock in the closet and feed table scraps, if that.

HAILERS 08-28-06 09:34 AM

ALL the grounds are shown in the online FSM in the schematic section. They are clearly shown. Even red headed step children are allowed to view them.

What are you people in TN????? A bunch of progressive liberals or what????? In Tx we just kick 'em down the celler stairs and lock the door and that's the end of it. Either that or there's the pickup truck and the chain on the rear bumper as an alternative when the celler gets filled up.
