musthavemuzk Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 if ya figure it out holla at a brother. cig lighter, courtesy lights, power locks, power mirrors, undrhood light...are all on the same circuit in my 90 cutty. none of them work. as soon as a fuse is put in it blows. a friend of mine has the same car as mine but 4 dr instead of 2. he had a dime stuck in his cig lighter. as soon as the dime was removed and new fuse put in he was good to go.

runt Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 Probably a ground wire somewhere in the car. Thats 1 of probably 2 (ok, I am TOTALLY unsure about this) things. Only reason I say that is b/c all of the fuses are ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty u probally got a short somehwhere i remember when i frst had my radio installed i kept blowing my radio fuse n others all cause the idiot that installed it left open wires behind the glove box n when the touched the wrong surface "pop goes a fuse" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPRACER Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Probably a ground wire somewhere in the car. Thats 1 of probably 2 (ok, I am TOTALLY unsure about this) things. Only reason I say that is b/c all of the fuses are ok. I'd have to agree with this. Usually when you have multiple electrical problems it's because one or more systems have a common ground. I'll check some schematics and see if I can locate the grounds for ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPRACER Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Probably going to need a scan test to get the code(s) for the ABS light. The main ground for the radio is G201 located behind the instrument panel on the right side of the brake pedal bracket. Main ground for the door locks and windows is G302 located at the base of the right B pillar, The ground for the lighter is G205 and should be located behind the instrument panel to the left of the brake pedal. (1) G201 and G251 (2) G302 (3) G301 (4) G205 (5) G101 (Forward Lamp and Battery Ground) (6) G111 (VIN M), G113 (VIN K and M) and G117 (VIN K) (7) G117 (VIN M) (8) G102 (9) G111 (VIN K) (10) G204 (SEO) (11) G306 (SEO) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sl3196 Posted October 25, 2003 Report Share Posted October 25, 2003 I just had a problem similar to that, (radio didn't work, abs light on, and other things) it was the ip electronics fuse that was blown. Check your fuses again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kadoi Posted October 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2003 what is the ip fuse...i just replaced all of the fuses in the inside panel...got the power windows back but thats it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kadoi Posted October 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2003 well went and had the car checked out today and they couldnt even use a scan tool to pull up codes or to check the engine out. They said that we will need to replace the computer, about 300-500$ they said. I was wondering if i could just find the same make and model in the junk yard and swap computers?
