2003 Exp EB key did not turn off car

Good deal.

When you get time a diagram would be nice. No great hurry, it's doing ok with the fuse out. And to be honest with you I need a break from that vehicle!

Is the fuse an ATO or mini fuse, and will the "add a circuit fuse block" fit in the original fuse location?

It looks more like this -


There is not a whole lot of room on the row where F1.18 is located. Without trying one, it's hard to say. F1.24 does have plenty of room if that is an option.

That is the mini fuse. If possible can you post a close up pic of the cjb at f18?

If I remember correctly f24 is the fuel pump circuit.

The wife has the car at the moment, but here is a pix of the CJB.
F1.24 controls the battery saver relay, glove box and under hood lights.

Take a look at this, I think it would work in either location.

Ok, I'll get one. What else do I need?

General question, based on what you know at this point. I'm trying to determine if the car is "dependable" or not. Are we in a "it will get worse phase or do you think it's good to go"?

Hard to say. You don't know where the back feed is coming from and if it is only one. It may be a quick find or you may end up tearing out the entire dash to get to the harness / components to check them individually.

I would bandaid it right now in order to plan an "attack" on fixing it correctly and the order in which to proceed.

You will need two wires and a switch that can handle 10amps. I'll draw the diagram for you later today. Right now I'm providing a lap for one of my four legged children to sleep in. So I'm parked in a chair & reading the internet.

Quick and dirty diagram:

Hello, thought it was time for an update. I rec'd the fuse link yesterday, waiting on the kill switch to arrive. I'm hoping it will come in today or tomorrow so i can get it installed.

Question - right now I still have all the push pins in the wires that we were testing. Is it ok to leave those there for a while or should I remove?

AND then the big question, any great ideas where i should start testing next?

 

[stamp11127]

Remove the pins.

I'll think it over and let you know where to start.
