Hey guys..
just bought a 1995 Celica... everythings fine with it except for few electrical problems... cant figure out whats going on.. Heres what happens.. NONE of my interior lights work, the clock doesn't work and hazards dont turn on. I checked ALL the fuses (under the hood and under the steering wheel) and they all work fine (used a tester to check) I searched a LOT on this forum and people are saying it COULD be a grounding problem, if so how do I fix that? If its not what do you guys think it is? Also I noticed today when my doors are closed car is running, hand break is up and gear is in Park and seat belt is not in, the clock will turn on and say "1:00" but its VERYY faint like I can barely see it.. What do ya guys think? thanks. |

EVERYTHING works perfectly when it rains hard.. but stops working a few days after the rain.. Water will complete a circuit that otherwise would be open. What it sounds like is there is a bad connection, be it a common ground or power source that leads to all these items, and when it rains the water seeps in to wherever this bad connection is and becomes the contact point. When the water dries, the circuit is open again. What you need to do is get the wiring diagrams for your interior lights and such that don't work, and find where they all have a common power or ground. I'm guessing there is a big connector somewhere that is bad, or like has been said before a bad ground. -------------------- 1999 Celica GT
