Thanks, it's dark but that's what flash lights are for ima trouble shoot it real quick. -
Is it the HVAC?
Bently manual says fuse 4 (15 amp lt blue) is
"Turn signal and
emergency flasher
lights (also see
fuse 24)
Active check
control (also see
fuses 6, 1 0, 2 1 , 22,
and 23)
Digital clock (also
see fuse 2 1 )"
Are all those working? Could be a bad relay that is buzzing. (opening and closing really fast)
In another thread I think you said that the windshield wipers aren't working? Perhaps they're stuck on and the previous owner, for whatever silly reason, took the cam or armature off the motor so that it ends up running forever but not moving the wipers, instead of just pulling the fuse. That's on fuse 5 (30 amp green), so you may be pulling the wrong fuse. The numbers are pretty small and hard for me to read in the fuse panel. There's also the relay and control unit that runs the wipers, they could be bad. Pull them and see.
Here's more stuff to chase down.

The Ghost Motor
I have an electrical motor that keeps running (humming) with the car shut off. It is under the driver's side windshield wiper in the little black plastic vent. If I pull the #4 fuse it stops. What is this and how do I fix it?Tags: None
