1997 Cabriolet Electrical Problem?
Yesterday, when I started up our '97 Cabriolet after work, I noticed that the blower for the heater had stopped working. (I had that "oh... great!" moment).
However, on the way home, I noticed that my blinkers had stopped working as well. And upon further inspection, I noticed that several of the electronics had stopped working.
I checked the fuses when I got home and, as far as I can tell, none of them seem to be blown.
Here are the things that no longer work:
- Heater/Air Blower
- Blinkers (Both right and left)
- Power Windows (Single power window buttons)
- Power Locks
- Power Convertible Roof
- Back Window Defroster Blower
- Fog Lights (I think)
- Windshield Wipers
These are a few things that ARE STILL WORKING:
- Automatic Power Windows in Console (activated before putting the top down)
- Hazard Lights (Both blinkers work here - just not when activated by the turn signal arm)
- Headlights, Brake Lights, Interior Lights
- Radio
- Almost everything else, but I wanted to list these since it may help in diagnosing the issue
Like I said, I checked the fuses, but some of these items seem to be on different circuits, so I think it is more of an issue in the electrical system somewhere.
Does anybody have a good understanding of the Cab electrical system that could help point me in the right direction?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
