Wiring Gremlins, FYI

I had some weird off and on problems with the turnsignals and wipers. :notnice:

After searching High and Low and inbetween, Tracing thru the looms and halfway tearing the thing apart. :rolleyes:
I think i found the problems, :nice:
The fuse panel.

Seems that even with good fuses and tight connection,[even behind the panel]
that the inside where the fuse is held had glazed over with a slight non- conductive film. :bang: :bang: :bang:
Even with checking for power flow with a meter and it showing voltage, they sometimes would not work the accessorys.

By using some 320 grit sandpaper and cleaning all of the inner part of the fuse holders, :banana: :banana: :banana: everything works GREAT.

Just a little insight when you start to have the gremlins attack. :)

Glad to hear you beat the gremlins. I had a similar problem with the power door locks on my van sliding door. They started to work intermittently Then they just died. Thought it might be the doorlock actuator. But first I sanded the metal contact points, because they looked glazed over, where the door meets the frame and "voila" everything worked fine. Saved me alot of work and headache. Yes, I agree keep those contact points clean.
