Answer
Andy: Hey you got a problem... but listen did you check the fuses? If so then I would say this is a relay that has died. In with the engine, I would say as you open the hood looking in at the engine, there should be three small black boxes, one over on the drivers side of the car up by the firewall. And two others or maybe one other each car is different over by the battery. You need to check those boxes for relays. On the top of each box tells what is in the box. Oh yes, if you find a bad relay, remember to unhook the neg cable off the battery before putting in the new relay and then hook the cable up again. Other wise you will kill the new relay. Oh yes you can do a continutiy check to determine if there are any breaks in a circuit. Get yourself a repair manual, I like Haynes as they do not have so many engines in them and then a voltmeter. The repair manual will tell you the right reading to be getting and that way you could find your problem too. I am hoping it is a bad relay someplace and that will fix your problem once you change the relay. I do hope this helps. later: Linda
