Wiring Mess

[laffycaffi]

I have some electrical issues that I'm dealing with. To summarize:

* Front blinkers never work
* Reverse lights don't work
* Rear blinkers seem to cause a popped fuze When I change the fuze they work, but in 5 minutes the fuze is broke and they no longer work.
* Brake lights and hazard work in the rear. Not sure about the front
* Parking lights don't work.
* Horn works

This all happened after putting in a power steering conversion and installing a new steering wheel, and installing a stereo, which works.

I'm wondering if A: anyone knows of someone who knows electrical stuff in Denver, be a shop or a person, or B) If any CCB members are willing to take a peek. I can pay for your help.

I'm really ready to resolve all of this. Thanks!

Check the wiring under the steering wheel. You could have disturbed a wire or two installing the wheel causing it to short or ground out. First thing I thought of was to check the ground wires at the lights as well.

Did you install the stereo in the dash? If so the main wire loom runs under the stereo along the bottom of the dash and you could have moved the loom which could have a caused a wire or wires to chafe and rub against a bolt or screw that may be sticking up into the path of the wire loom. If your wiring is original some or all of the wiring is probably brittle and it could just be a coincidence that all of this occurred at the same time as the work you did.

Thanks so much. I'll take a look tomorrow.
