Smitty_Works Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 well back to square1. even with the rear wiper unplugged its still blowing fuses!!! and now for some reason my rear trunk light stays on once the fuse blows. it stays on like its not closed, an open circuit, or something. so I don't even know where to start to try and track this down. the Aerodeck shop manual I have is a good start, but I cant find any troubleshooting for this.

Smitty_Works Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 Oh dear.that is correct. I am trying to come up with different symptoms and scenarios as to why this is going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastgtir Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 When it was flooded, it has caused some electronic problems. What electrical parts could have gotten wet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty_Works Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 Is there a short in the rear demister!I had a look at the boot lid wiring yesterday and saw no breakings in the wire harness or other parts of it. for giggles I pulled the motor out and ran direct power to that and it seemed to work with no issues. I also switched the wiper switch on the steering column too, and even that wasn't causing it to blow fuses. When it was flooded, it has caused some electronic problems. What electrical parts could have gotten wet?the only harness that got wet was the floor harness. luckily everything thing else was higher up. the weird thing is that this all started when I put the center console and radio back in. I wonder if there is a wire or ground behind there causing this issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Worth a look I think! Could be something simple got snagged? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
