Subject: Re: Need some electrical smarts. by hcbph on 2016/4/5 9:55:59 The transmission was done before I bought the car in 2013. All the dash and electrical seems to work ok as does the tranny. The only thing I've had any issues with is the ABS light occassionally comes on which I haven't addressed yet and the interior light relay is out. Yes I pulled the fuses in the main fuse panel one at a time, then checking the engine to the negative battery point. I showed voltage still present every time. Am I interpreting the DVOM readings correctly? I would think that if there was a direct to ground short, I'd see something. Thinking on this later, is it possible to have something like the alternator short internally where the engine is electrically hot yet everything still works? With the cables hooked up but not starting the car, I didn't find any that got hot. I can touch the positive lead of voltmeter to the alternator bracket, TPI, cruise control cable, etc and the negative to the battery post (with the positive cable only connected) and show current flowing. Either I didn't find a good spot or not but didn't get any indication of current from the firewall to battery. That juice has to be coming from somewhere, but where to start looking? |
