Breaker #2, parking lights and brake lights
Posted: Mon Apr 15, 2013 9:45 pm
Guys:
My main source of transportation was smashed by an idiot not paying attention when he slammed into the back of my car. Sooo, the good news is I get to drive the Pinz to work. Bad news is I went to drive it this morning and circuit breaker #2 popped when I turned on the headlights. I didn't get the switch past the parking lights when it blew. Saw the smoke genie but didn't smell anything burning. On the way home the wipers didn't work. Came home and researched the issue best I could and don't see a solution. Went out to diagnose it and found out that the turn signals work fine. The high beams on the headlights work when I pull the turn signal arm back to me. But, the brake lights don't work at all. Oh, and the wipers worked when I got home after pushing on breaker 2 a bit to reset it. So, no parking lights, no brake lights, and breaker 2 pops when I turn on the parking lights/headlights. So, no headlights either unless I pull back on the turn signal.
Any ideas as to the source of the problem? Is it a breaker? Burned out low beams? I thought headlights/parking lights/ and brake lights were on separate breakers. Any help you can give is appreciated as I'm driving this baby tomorrow with or without headlights and brake lights.
Thanks,
John
