Replying to: pat13151 (Aug 22, 2008 8:48 am) I just did a quick internet search for Voyager service manual, and came across these guys. Personally, I have never used them so don't know that their manuals get down to the electrical schematic level that you need. I've used HelmInc for online manuals successfully in the past, but they don't carry Plymouth manuals. You want to find a set of manuals which gets you to a level of detail like this posting I have on my carspace that I did for someone else where I had the manuals, and was able to mark it up for them. Normally you'll only find black and white. Hayes and Chilton normally don't get down to that level of detail, you typically need some sort of factory service manuals which also need electrical schematics. link

If I move the hazard switch on my 99 yukon xl, the brake lights may or may not work. I have to keep a piece of paper next to the switch for them to work properly. I hear clicking noise if I move it also. The other day I shut off the engine and removed my key and there were several clicking noises and then one louder one. Could this be a wire in column shorting out or something more like a main fuse in the box under the hood? I have not taken it in to dealer yet because of the price. Hoping to find some answers here. Thank you.

A lady-friend of mine has a mid-to-late 90s Lexus GS300, (I think that is the model: 6-cyl. RWD), that was exhibiting strange behavior. She took it to the dealer, who informed her that a rodent had been dining on the main cable runs between the transmission and the engine. (Perhaps the engine control computer. I got this all second-hand, over the phone, while she was driving.... Yeah, I know, stereotypical female Lexus owner). The Lexus dealer will replace the cable for $4,000 plus $1,400 in labor. I guess it must be made with gold wire.  She then took it to an independent shop that works on Lexus and asked if the cable could be repaired. They suggested that she try an "electrical shop", but that there may be a risk of damaging the tranny. She is located in the Seattle-Tacoma area, so there should be lots of "resources" available to her. Thoughts, ideas, suggestions? James

Replying to: oregonboy (Sep 19, 2008 2:26 pm) Another issue is electrical fire and the liabilities that go with that. So the dealer is playing it safe by repairing the entire subharness, from one connector to the next. This is no doubt a tedious job in itself and I would imagine the harness is not cheap and must be special ordered. You can shop it around but be careful what you wish for, you may get it. |
