Subject: RE: voltage regulator
You'll also find that you heater doesn't work either. All these are
powered by the 25A fuse from the ignition switch. You didn't mention
that
the care won't start, so I assume that it will. If you don't have a volt
meter or test light I would start by looking closely at the clips in the
fuse snaps into. is it clean, or green with crud? If it is clean, take
out
the 8A fuse and put the 25A fuse in its place. Do the wipers still work?
Yes, the fuse is good, no, you have a bad fuse. Put the 8A back in
place.
There is a screw on the fuse block that is marked "F". IT should have 2
wires on it, one green/blue and one green. (There also may be a yellow,
but I don't think so). Check the screw that secures the wires to be sure
it is not corroded and is tight. If everything checks out the problem is
probably a corroded rivet that holds the fuse clips to the fuse block.
only a volt meter or test light will tell you for sure. These fuse
blocks
take a beating, being in the engine compartment. Our vendors have
replacements, as does the dealer.
Peace,
