1) Dash/Pod lights aren't working (only the radio light is working). Already tried bridging the two cables that connect to the rheostat, still no light. All Fuses/Relays are fine.
2)Brake lights aren't working. Fuse is ok, and I already replaced one of the two switches on the brake cylinder. I read somewhere that even with one switch working they should get power, and can't figure out a way to reach the second one in order to replace it. Bulbs are working btw
3) center air vent flap won't open. I figured it must be an electrical problem since sometimes it works so the vacuum line should be fine. All other flaps are working.
I hope someone comes up with an idea on what to check next since the basics (fuses, rheostat, etc...) have already been checked
Thanks a lot in advance to anyone who will help! |
1)What year is your car? Fuses for the interior could be different than what you think.
2)Is the light controller connector plugged in? It's located and attached to the passenger parcel shelf.
3) check the solenoid connections under the console. Remove the console driver's side panel to find the various colored vacuum lines. Find the one connected to the center flap. The solenoid could have gone bad or the vacuum line unplugged or the vacuum manifold may have a split and need replaced.
Good luck
