Info Request

Hi disangel,

 

I don't see the vehicle application information. Can you please provide me with the year, make, model, engine size, trans (automatic?) and if it has A/C and if it is 2WD or 4WD.

 

Once I get this from you, I will look it up and give you the answer.

 

Thanks,

Vinny

Accepted Answer

Hi XXXXXXXX,

 

Here are all of the items that are connected to fuse #8. To figure this out first check to see if the light is on in all of the areas that are listed below. (example, check the golve box light, trunk light, hood light to make sure they are not inadvertantly on)

 

If you can't find anything wrong the pull fuse #8 out and hook up either a test light or an amp meter to the prongs of where the fuse plugs in. If there is a draw, the test light will light and the amp meter will show an amp reading. Next you have to figure out a way to push the interior door light switch in and hold it so it won't affect your reading.

 

Next you have to figure out a way to eliminate each circuit one by one and each time check to see if the draw goes away. This is not easy but it is the only way to get to the bottom of it.
