#4697 of 4964 fuses blow by monijo30 Dec 29, 2008 (12:30 pm)
2002 ford expedition xlt 8 cyl- auto 100k fuses have been replaced several times. wipers, windows, and horn will work for a few minutes; then stop working. Truck also won't reverse until fuses replaced. why are they blowing out so quickly? Replies to this message: bolivar (Dec 29, 2008 3:46 pm)

Replying to: sprchrgr1 (Dec 29, 2008 11:38 am) I'd definitely test the wiring harness all the way back. Maybe something got yanked or overheated? I suppose you could buy just the injection wiring harness. Any codes from the car's computer?

Replying to: monijo30 (Dec 29, 2008 12:30 pm) Because you have shorts to ground which are blowing the fuses. And if you are actually blowing multiple fuses, you have a lot of problems. You probably overheated some circuit and melted a wire, which melted into other wires somewhere in a wiring harness. This then cross-circuited several different circuits. You need someone with some electrical troubleshooting knowledge to look at this.

Replying to: kiawah (Dec 29, 2008 6:51 am) Hi I am really not sure how to answer your question. The car jerks as if I were a new driver when just learning how to shift gears. It only happens when I shift up - never happens when I down shift. I think the car is more like the latter of your suggestions - it may be trying to go faster but not getting there. Thanks for your help Amy

Replying to: shooter7 (Jan 02, 2009 6:29 pm) Speedo has to come out, I'd say. Reason? If your odometer works, this suggests an internal issue. Replies to this message: shooter7 (Jan 03, 2009 2:49 pm)

#4704 of 4964 Light Bulb next to P, N, D, 1, 2 by naskrent Jan 03, 2009 (3:11 pm)
2006 Toyota Camry, 40K, Automatic. 6 cyl. When lights are on, this bulb goes on and off sporadically. Is the only hardware making this bulb activate located in the light on/off switch on the column? Replies to this message: kiawah (Jan 03, 2009 4:52 pm)

I have a 93 grand am sedan, somehow the door lock down does not work,never has since i own the car. The door lock button is located on the center console . The doors lock fine by itself when one drives away, and will all unlock simultaniously when stopped and engine is shut of. But one cannot keep locked or unlock all or any door with the door lock button when the engine is running or not.There is power to the lock button, and it works OK.Is there a door lock module on these 93 models? I can't find any under the dash, as per All Data there should be one.There is however a door lock relay, bypassing the relay with a jumper wire has no result in opening or closing any of the door locks either. There is power to terminal C there regardless of the position of the lock button. Any one ,any idea where to look .
