the battery works after i get it jumped.
all i did was tap into the "H" fan wire (dark blue wire on the passenger side, comes through the third wiring harness). and then the tap wire went to the wire that was connected to a switch.
i took the dash cover off underneath the steering wheel....the wire coming from the switch was toast. it was attached to a fuse, not grounded. i found the ground wire the previous owner had after taking the cover off. the fuse is fine, not blown. i'm hoping nothing got shorted out... |
After the car is jumped the car runs off the alternator, not the battery. Put the wiring back to normal and see if you have a problem...You could have messed up the battery, but maybe the short where ever it is, is drawing enough amperage that the alternator can't keep up at idle. Being that it has to run your ignition, fuel, all that crap, and then throwing another 50amps on top of that from the short, yeah, problems...If the short is BEFORE the fuse, it will short and not blow the fuse...
Only recommendation, take the wires out..
