Bad fuse ??

[Msvenom97]

My message center, radio and fuel gauge just stopped working...Maybe just a fuse ??

 

[izackary]

Probably. Got a manual to refer to fuse functions?

 

[Msvenom97]

I do...It doesn't show the fuel gauge as part of it tho...Can I still drive it ?

Got a voltmeter? Or a voltage trouble light? It's best to test the fuses ( both sides) for voltage anyway.

Check fuses 4 and 20.

There are wiring harness connections on the transmission cross member that may have not been reconnected properly, but I'd have to do a bunch of research to see if those would affect what you're having problems with.

I'd check the fuses first, and if they're ok, then it might not be a bad idea to take the car back to the place that did the transmission work.

fuse 20 is fine..fuse 4 blown..replaced it and blew again...

 

[Msvenom97]

If its blowing this fuse ..is it ok too still drive it ??

Then there's a short somewhere and you need to have someone who really knows what they're doing look at the car.

Try it, if it will drive then carefully take it back to the transmission place.

It's possible that they damaged something in the wiring when working on the transmission.

Like DLF said, if there is a short, bring it to the shop so they can go over their work and look for any cut, frayed, or crushed wires before you pour money into it. Just make sure you have enough gas!

 

[Msvenom97]

Will do...of course its sat and they are not open..Ughhh...Thanks guys...Ellen

You could do a visual yourself. If you find something at least you can determine if you are comfortable to repair it.

Check out wire "1002" top left hand side. This runs off of fuse 4, powering everything you've said. I bet this Black/Pink wire is hitting a ground wire or metal somewhere.

 

[Msvenom97]

Thanks Anthraxbird but I have no help. Everyone left me for Aruba.

Take it back to the shop, tell them ever since you got it back, this has been happening
