dec0y13 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I have a nasty short in my brat.(well i have allot of electrical issues, but we'll start with this one) the 15 amp fuse for the horn , clock and 4 way blinkers has an explosive short in it. (blows a fuse instantly) Does anyone have a pdf of a clear wiring diagram or short finding advice? So Far: I have unplugged the horn, I still have the short. The clock works, but the horn and 4 way blinkers do not. ALSO, the 4WD, door and seatbelt indicators do not work either. the 4WD indicator switch tests good, but it does not light in the dash console. (I did manage to repair the glove compartment light and dome light) Is it possible the 4 way blinker relay is bad, if so, where is it? any help is appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 IIRC that circuit also feeds to the radio - if you have an aftermarket radio check for poorly wired connections - something may have come loose and is grounding out. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dec0y13 Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 Yeah. I don't have a radio installed yet, but some of the wiring in there is a bit scary. I'll be checking some of that out today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dec0y13 Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 HA! found it. there is a green connector that was connected into another almost the same color green connector that was a direct short. what a pain! I have a clock, 4 ways and a horn now. On the the next electrical issues. anyone know what these green connectors are supposed to connect to? One comes out of the harness and the other leads from the steering collum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Probably the switch that turns on the key-in-ignition warning chime..... Makes sense because that's a constant-hot circuit. The chime needs to function with the ignition off.... GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dec0y13 Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 dang! now I want to hook up the chime...now where is that connector? BTW I'm reasonably sure that this is not the stock ignition, maybe the chime connector is different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I *think* the chime is somewhere behind the glove-box or between the glove box and radio area..... somewhere in there. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
