89201, WTF... Blown fuses for lights. Posted by eclipse982nrRST, Sep-18-05 04:49 AM
Okay so every time I turn my corner lenses on, the fuse blows.
I traced all the wiring there arent any shorts or anything visable thats making them blow the fuse.
Now I have no turn signals.
My dash lights dont turn on either.
My brake lights work in the rear and my actual headlights work and the tail lights light up when the headlights are on... just no corner lights/turn signals!!!
WTF !?!?!?!

I was messing around a little more and now WITHOUT turning the headlights or corner lights on, the front turn signals work, but the rears dont.
Why would only the front work and not the rears? Could this be why I am blowing fuses?

Sounds like a short for sure!!, maybe even in the back. By the sounds of it if your fronts are working now and the back isn't your power source(lead) going to the rear is no longer active. Maybe burnt wire or bad taillight socket Specially if your not running the stockers. Time to break out the volt meter and start checking as your eyes will only tell you so much :P

Actually, now the FRONT and REAR turn signals work.
But when I turn the lights on, the fuse still blows, and the corners just dont light up.
So so something is weird, cuz both front and rear signals work, but the lights wont work on them and the dash lights still dont work inside the car :(

89254, Location of Turn Signal and Hazard Flasher Unit. Posted by eclipse982nrRST, Sep-20-05 08:58 AM
Okay I was reading throught the factory service manual and it says that the 'Turn Signal and Hazard Flasher Unit' could have something to do with this. It says, if you hear it click during operation, the unit is okay. Well I hear it click when the turn signal is on, but the hazard lights dont work either, so maybe its this switch thing.
To replace the switch, in the manual it says, quote "to replace the flasher, disconnect the electrical connector and remove the flasher unit from it mounting bracket located under the instrument panel to the right of the steering column."
Then there is a little scribbly pic of this relay looking this screwed or bolted into a metal piece it looks like....
I took off the lower dash and side panel and I dont see this thing for shit. Anyone know where the fuck this thing is located?
