well......?!!!!
What happened Its been a year?!!! Did you sell it or something?!@
My 99 is being a beotch like this now..... although.... its not back and fourth.
It killed out on the road on me so I wiggles ALL PCI connectors, Took out the dash, put it in, tried it, wiggled it and put it back in.... everytime nothing.
After about 30mins of jackin around, I found a fuse in the PDC that was blown. I put a wire between it as I had no fuses and it made a HUGE spark.... way more then 15 amps. I'm talkin like if you dead shorted the battery with a piece of wire off the old TV in the back of your XJ. :firedevil
So I'm on the side of the road in a canyon, no cell phone, 5 miles to cell range, 11:30pm with the fam.:firedevil
So I decide to just short the fuse with a piece of coat hanger, (I know bad Idea) to try and find smoke signals. but no smoke, I hear a faint sound of something boiling and the lights all dimmed for a second, (High amp draw) then the lights got back to their original brightness and the fule pump relay clicked and my girl heard the fuel pump run for a sec. I was like hell yeah.... I told her to try and start it and it fired right up! nice, killed it. Then I took just 3 strands of TV power cord wireand used the burnt fuse in another 15 amp location that had no prob. I took the good fuse and put it in the problem location just incase it wanted to show its ugly face again while driving.... I didn't want a piece of wire in there and have a fire. Drove home with no problem other then service engine soon light. I donno yet if it is because of all my monkeyin around before I found the fuse or not because I was unpluggin and pluging in everything.
Now today I gotta go get some fuses and try clearin that SES light.... but I'm pretty sure something fried out when I put the wire to the fusebox.
I'm hoping someone else has had this problem and knows what I fried
