[DML] Minor electrical problem revised...



Thanks to all who helped me so far. I have performed some more tests. I also straightened up the wires and mounts for the door switches to be safe.

I measured the current through the Courtesies circuit with the right door open, it gives 1.35A. The left door alone gives 1.20A. Both doors open simultasneously gives 2.55A. With both doors closed it reads 0.00A!!!! So the doors arent the problem.

The engine compartment light does not come on. The bulb doesnt look burnt out. The switch one the other hand was falling out the bottom of its little switch housing. So to be sure I completely removed the switch. Current still zero. Then i used an extra fuse to hook the two wire connectors that go to the switch together. Current is still zero even with the engine compartment light shorted. So my engine compartment light has its own open problem somewhere else, but at least it isnt shorted.

The switch to the front luggage compartemnt works fine turning the light on and off as normal. The fuse I first thought (and is labeled) for the radio/clock/cigar lighter, actually is my windows fuse. So my windows circuit is the one pulling the 13.3mA. Does this mean my solenoids are going bad?

But I did find something important.

Adam,

The small current draw across the radio fuse may be caused by the memory in
the radio.
