Prospeeder Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 I have been having some elctrical issues, and a dude over on TGP forums said somthing about a boot on the b+ termial of the altenator, or somthing like that, but im having problems, likek if u press the brake, the interior lights and dash lights dim, or if the fans come on or u plug somthing into the cig lighter, the lights said dim, and the Antilock light is on, even tho i dont have a PM3 problem, so what is this? i found it under my car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Where did you find it? Looks like something for a vacuum line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoStudd Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Your electrical problems are most likely stemming from a loose cable. Try tightening down the nut on your Auxillary Positive Post, along with snugging up the battery cables... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Maybe that thing like releases water from your a/c.. but that's just a wild guess i dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Maybe that thing like releases water from your a/c.. but that's just a wild guess i dunno. I think your right! Check all your grounds and cables for corrosion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospeeder Posted July 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 so then wheres it go? i mean, wheres the a/c release water? il check my battery stuff, thanks a bunch, is there a better way to get to the freaking battery, its like burried under all that crap, how do i get to the battery and wheres the ground for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoStudd Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 is there a better way to get to the freaking battery, its like burried under all that crap, how do i get to the battery and wheres the ground for itYou'll have to remove the strut tower-to-header panel "cross brace," then remove the washer tank (you may have to unbolt and swing the fuse box out of the way slightly to get the washer tank out.) You should have clear access to the battery after that. The ground cable should be mounted to the engine block (it is on most cars, not sure about a TGP...)

supreme_style21 Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 To get to the battery, you take off all that 'crap'. Unless you can perform some odd trick and get it out some other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartonmd Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 That is almost certainly something that would connect one of those small, plastic vacuum lines to a fuel pressure regulator or something... It's that kind of connector anyway... About the problem youre having... I'd check all your grounds, lights coming on when you press something else and shit is normally the grounds being fucked up and confusing the computer...

Stekman Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 That is definitly the turn-down for the AC's drain off. When water was pouring onto the floor of the pass side in his Lumina, a cloggy one of those was the culprit. I don't know about your car, but on his 98, it was against the firewall, almost in the center, about 2/3 to 3/4 of the way down. There will be about a 1/2" nipple just sticking out of the firewall. The large end slides over it. You may be able to see it from the top (on our Lumina, you can), otherwise it is definitly accessable from the bottom.
