If the van has an aux battery then the stuff that was on fuse #3 is often moved over to the aux battery and there might be a new fuse for those things next to the aux battery.

No problem...easy as hell right....Well, the wires are barely long enough for me to crimp on the connectors needed to combine the 2 brown wires and the 2 red wires.I didn't feel like removing the stereo.In pulling the wires out of the dash to crimp on the female connectors I must have pulled something loose. For the life of me I cannot figure out which connection I messed up. This circuit is suppose to be hot at all times, #3 fuse is fine. Replaced it anyway. I now have no power to everything on the #3 fuse ( interior lights,clock,radio, lighter) Any help would be VERY much appreciated. I don't ask for help very often, but this easy fix has been anything but easy for me. At this point I could run a whole new wire , but I would rather keep it stock. I don't have a good full size schematic and the Bentl ey schematic is hard for me to decipher. > I have the instrument panel exposed, stereo out, glove box out , and fuse box lowered , and I can't find any loose connections. |
