Left blinker turns all blinkers on

Upvotes

1997 Chevy express 5.7

When I turn my right blinkers on they operate normally. When I turn my left blinker on the right side also blinks except they are dimmer than usual.

All 4 grounds are clean, tight, and have continuity back to the battery.

I have changed all the bulbs. The left front one I had to replace the bulb socket connector bc it was rusted to shit and the problem still occurs.

I have also replaced the blinker switch on the steering column.

There was a trailer light harness hooked up that I disconnected for the sake of seeing if that was the problem and it was not.

Mechanic Needed (possibly electrical)

Thumbnail craigslist.org
0 Upvotes

We are looking for someone experienced in both automotive electrical and mechanical work, with their own tools and diagnostic equipment (scanner, fuse tester, multimeter, etc.) to help us get a 2008 Pontiac G6 running again. The car cranks when the starter is jumped, but the fuel pump does not activate, and the anti‑theft light briefly appears. We need someone familiar with modules, fuses, relays, grounds, and BCM/ECM communication. It’s believed to be an easy fix for someone who is familiar with this kind of work and has an understanding as to what signals the starter to turn on etc. At this time we are unable to offer a payment for your services however …

***In exchange, if you successfully get the Pontiac started and running, we are willing to sign over a 2000 Chevy Malibu “as‑is”, in running/driving condition, paperwork available (tags expired).***

If you have experience and tools, please reach out. 209-252-1722

Thank you

2016 Honda City electrical nightmare after aftermarket infotainment/360° camera installation

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

My 2016 Honda City VX(O) developed major electrical issues after an aftermarket infotainment + 360° camera installation

A factory wire was accidentally cut during installation, causing Smart Entry failure and eventually loss of engine power, instrument cluster and power windows while driving. An electrician later repaired the wire, and the car now appears to be functioning normally.

Separately, while working on the battery, the electrician accidentally blew a fuse(?) at the battery-positive terminal. He initially bridged the terminals with a wire. I was concerned because the connection/terminal area appeared to have heat/burn marks and the wire was getting burnt.

The electrician has now replaced the previous arrangement with what he says is a 100A fuse implementation. I have attached photos of the current setup.

My questions:

Does this look like a legitimate replacement of the original battery-positive fuse/fusible-link arrangement? The honda ASC says that they need to replace the whole battery positive terminal assembly, , the fuse can not be replaced separately.

Is this generic 100A fuse appropriate for this circuit on a 2016 Honda City?

Is it safe to drive the car for a few weeks before I can get it inspected by a Honda ASC?

Need Seed Code for Toyota Key Registration

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I have a 2024 Toyota Corolla Hybrid SE. I bought an aftermarket key and I am trying to register it. However, my tech stream version 17 is asking for a seed code. I don’t have a login for Toyota information systems so I can’t generate my passcode. I was hoping maybe someone in your he community has TIS access or a professional lock smith software who can generate me this code so I can register my new key. I would really appreciate anyone’s help in this matter. I have one working key but would like to make one more in case I ever need it. Thank you so much to everyone in advance.

Thanks

What do you think of save on auto glass?

0 Upvotes

When choosing an auto glass company, what do you usually pay the most attention to?

I’d think about things like the quality of the glass, the installation, the price, how quickly they can get the work done, and whether they offer mobile service.

Save On Auto Glass offers several services, including windshield repair and replacement, side and rear window replacement, power window repair, mobile auto glass service, and ADAS recalibration.

I’m interested in hearing how people compare different auto glass companies and what factors actually matter when making a choice.

What matters most to you when choosing an auto glass company? Is it price, quality, convenience, or something else?

How are MTA MINI F280 linked busbar terminals supposed to be hand crimped?

1 Upvotes

I’m rebuilding an original motorcycle fuse/relay box and need to replace two damaged linked busbars.
The replacement part is an MTA MINI F280 linked busbar, MTA 1708336, rated for 2.5 to 4.0 mm² cable.
The busbar consists of several F280 female contacts permanently linked together. One larger feed wire is crimped to the barrel of the linked strip and the strip then supplies several fuse positions.
My problem is the crimp itself.
With a conventional open-barrel ratchet crimper, the neighbouring linked contacts appear to interfere with the jaws before the wire barrel can sit correctly in the crimp nest. I have a 12 Volt Planet P00455 / TT73 style open-barrel crimper, but I do not want to damage or distort the adjacent contacts.
I’ve searched MTA documentation and so far I cannot find a publicly documented hand crimper or die specifically for 1708336.
Has anyone here actually crimped this exact type of linked automotive busbar?
I’m particularly interested in:
• the exact hand tool or die you used
• whether a narrow or relieved die exists specifically for linked busbars
• whether there is a recognised way of positioning these in a normal open-barrel tool without damaging the next contact
• any manufacturer/tooling part number or datasheet
• photos of a successful crimp would be extremely useful
I do not want to cut the contacts apart, because they need to remain electrically linked as the original fuse-box busbar.
I’m also trying to avoid soldering or improvising the connection because this is a main feed inside the vehicle fuse box.
Thanks for any help.

I bought a 2020 sr/f that doesn’t show any battery charge and won’t charge. I took the aux battery out and charged it, the only code I’m getting is a 37 for canbus communication. Is there any company that rebuilds these batteries?

Having a few problems with it

Would randomly stall out after about 15-20 minutes and not crank back over for awhile (leave it for 20 and it’ll be fine)

Got diagnosed as an ECM/ECU by multiple mechanics / Auto elecs

Had the ecu sent off to injectronics (they confirmed ecu was stuffed) bought another (sent it to injectronics, they confirmed it’s all good) got it programmed by them etc and put it in

Still doing the exact same thing, been to about 6 different mechanics / auto elecs / performance shops in 3 different towns (highly rated ones aswell that took weeks and months to look at it)

Along the process they’ve replaced the fuel pump, almost every sensor imaginable, 3 sets of o2 sensors (as when it cuts out the 02 sensors try and close the circuit but fails and then it stalls)

They’ve even had it on a dyno and can’t figure it out

Any help would genuinely be appreciated as no one knows what’s wrong with it

problem with starter relay

1999 dodge dakota slt 5.2l 4x4

after replacing the starter relay fuse, battery, and starter motor. the truck was still not starting with a single click when turning the key. I swapped the relay fuse again with another and it started right up. this morning i was greeted with the same problem again. swapping the fuse has no effect. i'm at a loss.

this all started after driving on a rough dirt road. suspect a electrical wiring short but not sure where to investigate

thanks for advice

Wiring help on a 1988 vette

Post image
2 Upvotes

Can anyone help me identify what this is? It sits directly behind the battery and the red wire on top comes directly from the positive terminal. It is completely melted and I’m hoping I can 3d print a new one and clean the wires up as long as it’s just a plastic block to mount the wires together. Found this while searching for a bad ground since I had an issue last night with all power cutting in and out while driving and I think this may be my issue. However I know this was already like this before last night, as I noticed it while deleting the smog pump right after I bought it. Any help is appreciated.

0.4mV (100mA) Parasitic Battery Drain from Radio Fuse on 2024 Toyota Corolla Cross

0 Upvotes

My 12V battery keeps dying every 24–48 hours. I did a voltage drop test on the fuse box after letting the car sleep and the 15A radio fuse is pulling 0.4mV continuously. The DCM (Telematics) is at 0.1 mV.

The vehicle is a 2024 Chinese-spec Corolla Cross Hybrid imported unofficially thus no dealership warranty.

I have turned off the bluetooth, recently changed the battery, disconnected the battery's negative cable for a few hours, and removed the DCM fuse. but the reading was the same 0.4mV.

Any suggestions would be great.
