Blow a fuse? Check fuse 34.

ok, where do I start?????
all fuses good.

I'm going to sound redudant here, but the search works fairly well for fault codes. Just do one at a time and plug in a code and see what others have come up with.

You could also plug in all of them separated by - and - then click the boolean button and see if they all come up in the same post.

Or check fuse 34.

bam_bam_dip · July 5th, 2006, 20:20

thanks for the redundancy...........

not exactly looking for a translation, but a cure!!

i.e. I searched the codes......basically they all come back to
...yada, yada, yada...short to ground

whitedog · July 5th, 2006, 20:29

Often the cure has been found before and a little research will reveal what others have found.

bam_bam_dip · July 5th, 2006, 20:36

or you could just go to http://tdiclub.com/chat/ ..........jason, eric, and cincy_mike, et al were most helpful.

whitedog · July 5th, 2006, 20:37

And what happens the next time when you have a code and no one is around?

bam_bam_dip · July 5th, 2006, 20:40

Your joking right...........some people around here never sleep.

DUH, search fer it on my own, boss?

or

Go to bed and axe agin in the mornin'..........

Update

Yesterday, while intalling an amp in the trunk, I was having some power supply issues. As a rule of thumb, I always double check fuses and grounds first for electrical problems. All fuses, and I mean all, were operational. My problem was a intermittant grounding problem. Remedied that, then started having issues with CEL's above. I figured that with 1 grounding problem, might be another. Wrong.
MOGolf and Whitedog were right on the money with fuse #34. I went to double check fuses this morning, there wasn't a fuse in slot #34. I had accidentally moved it when checking all the other fuses last night.

OOPS!!!

Replaced the fuse, cleared the CEL's, and re-scanned. All is well with the bam bam mobile.
Thanks again for the quick and accurate troubleshooting last night.

I don't believe searching for "being a dumbass" would have returned the proper results. i.e. replacing a fuse into the wrong slot.

Just a note... My suggestion of fuse 34 was just an echo of MoGolf. He deserves full credit for it.

But since we are talking about fuse 34 and your question is answered, maybe a bit of discussion on this important fuse would be helpful for folks like me. I'll look it up tonight on Bently and try to get my mind around the wiring "diagram" to see what it does.
