#312 of 321 S-10 Pickup electrical problem by neccomechanic Oct 06, 2009 (11:03 pm)
I have a 2002 Chevy S-10 Crew Cab Pickup. The fog lights and ashtray lights are not working, I checked the bulbs and fuses and they seem to be fine, is there a relay that could be cusing this problem? Also the window control switches are not working in the passinger and rear doors, but the the windows roll up and down fine by using the drivers side controls. How do I fix this? and is it linked to the fog lights and ashtray light not working?

Replying to: sprjriv (Feb 22, 2008 5:59 am) Hey. I have the exact same problem as you on my s15. Everything was working fine, until I decided to replace my license plate light sockets and bulbs. Now my parking/ running light stopped working but my signal and break lights still work???    Did you find a solution????
#314 of 321 light issues by cbowles Oct 13, 2009 (6:31 pm)
I have an annoying light problem, having trouble fixing! My license plate lights weren't working so i decided to change the sockets and bulbs, apparently big mistake. Now my drive lights in the front and rear are not working along with my dash lights and passenger side courtesy light. But my break/signal/reverse/head lights are all working perfectly. Im thinking this may be a ground issue..... need help!   Replies to this message: sean1999 (Oct 14, 2009 10:43 am) the_big_al (Oct 15, 2009 9:51 am)

Replying to: cbowles (Oct 13, 2009 6:31 pm) I am having to guess here but if you have a trailer wire harness attached, it may have rubbed and grounded itself out. Ground issues on the S series seem to be an issue and with a bazillion grounds it is tough to trace which is the culprit. Also I have heard that putting bulbs in that are not the exact appropriate bulbs will jack up the system as well. I love my S10 but the problems are frustrating. Its a truck. It should be simple. Good luck and let us know what you find.

Replying to: cbowles (Oct 13, 2009 6:31 pm) I also point to a ground issue... I just fixed one on my truck involving the turn signals in the rear. Might try and see if you can locate an electrical schematic to see what is tied into what (that may or may not help since a lot of things are tied into one thing or another depending on what is being used or not used), or just start tracing wires. I would start at the license plate lights since that is where the problem started and go from there. Trace all the wires connected to them and see if there is a wire rubbed bare or corroded.
#317 of 321 Problem after changing headlight. by esw03 Nov 24, 2009 (3:21 am)
I have a 1997 S10 ZR2. Last night I changed one of the headlights while the truck was running, so the daytime running lights were on. After changing the headlight, the power windows, cruise, heater mixing whatever (?) won't work, and the ABS light is on all of the time. I have checked all of the fuses and breakers and they are all ok. Does anyone have any ideas on what could be wrong. Thank you in advance.

Replying to: esw03 (Nov 24, 2009 3:21 am) Try removing the negative battery terminal for 10 minutes, maybe a processor will reset. Replies to this message: esw03 (Nov 28, 2009 10:16 am) gonogo (Nov 29, 2009 8:13 am)

Replying to: gonogo (Nov 24, 2009 8:14 am) Thanks "gonogo" !! Believe it or not, a couple of hours after I posted the question, the problem just went away. It worked great until last night. I started my truck and all of the previous problems had returned. I unhooked the negative battery terminal for about 30 minutes but it didn't fix the problem. Does anyone have another idea. Thanks again!! Replies to this message: gonogo (Nov 29, 2009 8:13 am)

Replying to: esw03 (Nov 28, 2009 10:16 am) Intermittent uh. Check for power at the fuses where you have lost power. Cruise , HVAC etc. The ignition switch maybe the problem, not the key one, the electrical one. If you can tell me which fuses don't have power, I maybe able to trace it to the ignition switch.  A 12 volt test light is real cheap.
