nanos100 Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 '91 xt6...2wd, no air suspension, auto: Two questions: I have an electrical short somewhere...diminishes greatly when I remove the fusible link second closest to the driver...goes away completely when I then remove the fusible link second closest to the front of the car. Pulling fuses at the fuse box doesn't isolate it-any ideas? Also, any suggestions for replacement lenses for the factory driving lights (in recesses under the turn signals/parking lights)? replies are best to my e-mail: earldotcom@hotmail.com Thanks, Stewart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john in KY Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Just a wag but my guess is a bad alternator. Could just disconnect the heavy wire from the alternator overnight and then see if anything changed. There are 4 or 5 fusible links. Each protects a circuit. Since you have checked the fuses this means this main circuit, the one that feeds the fuse panel, is not the problem. Offhand I don't know what circuits the remaining links protect but just guessing i would venture the alternator, steering motor and whatever. Once you have identified what circuit the problem link is protecting you can then zero in on the problem component. Still believe you will find the alternator to be the problem.

kingbobdole Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Jeff could be a bit nicer about it, but hes just trying to be a recruiter, not shy you away from the usmb... but you still should join the xt6.net crowd, we rock. Can you describe what the short does to the car? As far as driving lights, I have had wally mmart specials on mine for about 4 years, and they work good.

nanos100 Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 Yup, it's the alternator, shorting the case. Anyone have a used alternator for sale? Stewart Try me at: earldotcom@hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
