I'm going to throw a couple more things into the mix that I didn't really
think about before. I went through the wiring diagram...again. i noticed
that
several things lead to the same ground: panel lamps, heater motor, wiper
motor....I'm kind of brain storming here. Earlier I thought I made a great
discovery, but now not so sure.
So, my panel lamps are not working and neither are the windshield and signal
switches. I dont know if its related, but at some point I took the heater
out. It wasnt working anyway. I taped off the ground and other wire. I also
didnt have the wires plugged into the heater/fan switch on the dash. Is
there something to do with a circuit not being completed? I tried plugging
the
fan switch wires in and I also grounded the fan wire to the car since the
heater is not in. Do i need to put the heater back in and plug everything in
to
complete a circuit? It seems like the fact that all these things that are
not working now and were working prior to my wreck should be related somehow.
But i cant remember at what point I took the heater out and if it made a
difference.
I also took a front light out and sanded the body to the metal where it
bolts just in case that made a difference. Nothing again...but I think Paul
had
said the rear lights should have been glowing still anyway and they arent.
When I replaced the relay for the turn signals, the right one worked for a
short time and the left one would blink sporadically. Then at some point they
stopped working at all and would not even glow. Seems wierd that they would
have even worked at all. Could the relay have somehow shorted out because
of something else that is still wrong and thats why it worked for a very short
time?
Dont know if this complicated the issue but wanted to throw it out there.
Think I will likely be going to Harbor Frieght to pick up the voltmeter.
Thanks again for all the tips...steph
