Ok so I'm on my way to work last night and leaving my hood I run over some ice/snow, still about 6 inches in spots. And well I scrape a little and my lights dim and then go back to normal. Well when this happened my radio went out, my gauges, my powerlocks/windows, turnsignals, wipers, heat, mirrors and everything electrical inside my car stoped working except for my lights, and hazards. So I'm thinking I blew a fuse of some sort, but which one? I have an alarm installed that also does not work anymore. I pulled and checked some of the fuses in the fuse panel and the ones I pulled looked ok, is there a main fuse or something somewhere?

Cool thanks gas. My uncle is a toyota mechanic and he said that my harness is probably got a short somewhere and it is grounding on something. I just wish he was here he would have it fixed in no time, he is the bomb used to work on porsche's and ferraris.
Ok well I drove it for a week before this happened. I never changed out the ECU. I keep blowing the #15 fuse in the toyota manual its a 40 amp fuse on the inside of the car top right green fuse, according to the manual it is the electronic ignition fuse. I can replace the fuse and turn the key to accessory, everything works like it should, but when I turn it to on the fuse will blow. If the fuse is blown the car starts fine and all but it won't charge the battery. On the swap there is only 3 wires on the tranny, the main fat plug that has the neutral safety switch that you bypass, the reverse lights plug, and the speedo plug plus 2 ground wires. We did find 1 ground wire that was not attached and we attached that but a ground is not going to short out. Thanks for the offer gas I may have to take you up on it if I don't get this figured out soon. How far is cambellesville from the ville? |
