I was driving, lalala.. Then I was turning around in a parking lot, it was hot so the AC was on, and my stereo turned off and the ABS INOP light came on. I turned the car off and then back on, nothing changed, so I was like god dammit it's probably another fusable link that blew. A few seconds later white smoke and a familiar smell floated out from under my hood.. The same fusable link that I had just replaced about 3 weeks ago (the one that lets the car start..) had a small burn in it. I went back in the car, started it up, and my stereo came back on, but ABS INOP was still in the dash, and the SERVICE ENGINE SOON light was showing.. So I was driving home when I found out my turn signals did not work. I just parked closeby at a friend's house because I didn't want to drive it. We went to my house, got the fusable link and crimps and shrink wrap, then came back. I replaced that fusable link as well as 2 others that had part of the insulation shaved off (I don't know why.. It was like that when I got the car). After that, nothing changed, ABS INOP and the SES light and no blinkers. It was dark now, and I found out that the reverse lights did not work either, and the headlights did not automatically come on when I put the ebrake down, but they do work when I manually turn them on.. I checked all the fuses, all good to go. There is a relay that says ABS VI/Lights and I'm thinking that is probably it.. Can anyone spread some light on this? I've only had it for a month and I don't know all the troubleshooting things so any information or replies would be greatly appreciated! Sorry about the length, I just wanted to explain in good detail.

 

TTT Please help!

 

The #2 fuse in the I/P fuse block labled turn b-u (15 amps) is common to the back up lights, the turn signals and the DRL module. Double check it and even swap it with another 15 amp fuse. Sometimes the connections at the fuse get oxidized and even a good fuse can have a bad connection. Taking it in and out can make the difference.

Also it sounds like you have some things moving around in your wiring. Check the ends of the wires on the fuse block and the ones you been replacing to look for loose connections or movement near any metal.

 

When you have fusible links that blow, you need to be finding out what the cause is. You are not helping yourself much by just replacing the links. They will just likely blow again.

 

Some more information.. My hazard lights still work. Both times the fusible link broke, the AC was on and the stereo was blasting pretty much.. Do those run on the same fusible link (shoebox )? I have a deck that has 180W output, not the stock one. Could this be blowing the link? Should I just run a separate wire into the stereo with a fuse on it?

 

maybe your grounds are shorting

 

I had an ABS problem last week...... take your relay out that you mentioned and hit it against something (not too hard).... then put it back in. It worked perfectly for me after that. With mine, something was just loose inside. Maybe its the same for yours too?

 

Some new information guys, hope this helps you help me find the problem.. As I mentioned, my blinkers do not work with the turn signals, but the hazards work, and no reverse lights. I scanned the car because of the SES light, and got these 4 error codes: P0403 (EGR Circuit), P0400 (EGR Flow), P0443 (EVAP Purge Control Valve Circuit), and P0441 (EVAP Purge Flow). I do not see the connection between my turn signals not working and these.. Also, every now and then the LOW TRAC and BRAKE light will flash on and the brakes will pump then it will go back to normal. This happened while driving a few times, and then again when I was just parked in a parking lot. This is going to suck if an assload of stuff blew up. Anybody have any ideas about my problem? Thank you a lot for replying.
