Hi JamesDean,

Well, I believe it's not the turnsignal switch because I disconnected the combination switch at the steering column. It was one of my original suspects because it was replaced a few years ago and every now and then the wipers would come on and make one swipe.

Last week I was driving the thing around with all of that FSM list disconnected. Literally the instrument cluster out, cruise control disconnected, warning stuff disconnected, brake sensors and brake fluid sensors disconnected. Almost like everything disconnected and still be able to start the car!

Then my last thing was, I disconnected the power to the brake light switch and could not get the fuse to blow.

Also, keep in mind not only does it blow an 8 amp it blows the 16 amp.

The FSM shows a wire going to the Cruise Control Amplifier and a wire going to the Cruise Control Actuator. But if a guy has both of those disconnected you would think they would not be part of the issue.

Then all there is from the brake light switch is the brake light switch itself and the lines to the brake light assemblies.

I'll take your input and do some more stuff today. It would be interesting to see if it would blow the fuse with the back jacked up. Because it does seem like it needed that forward momentum coming to an abrupt stop to make it blow.


Onward I go! You have shown me that I can always convert it to a recliner!!
