Default anyone else have these issues

Ok 92 SC 400 260k:

-reverse lights don't work

-ac console works but no air blows at all

-cluster needles don't light up

- after turning off, taking out the key and opening the door I get a "beepbeepbeepbeep!- beepbeepbeepbeep!" x8... even after exiting the car and closing the door.

-when I turn on my blinker the fog lamp on that side comes on... but they don't come on any other way...

These are tge things I can't figure out how to fix... and I can bring myself to start fixing it up until I fix them

Anyone??

Well when i got it there was a pretty cheap deck in it... "with 2 15's"... naturally i took them out and put one 12. They had crossovers in the rear... but now that you mention it the stereo would reset when I turn the car off. But about a month ago it went off and never came back on and I haven't had time to mess with it

But these issues have been that way since I got it... but i just recently found out about the reverse lights

Fuse? No clue

Dead fan I imagine, or try another cc unit

Everyone has this. Use Tanin electronix

They're cornering lights not fogs. That's oem

Anyone??

Iv replaced several fuses... but not all. I guess I'll start there...


Not sure if the fan is dead or not... but ill check that as well... the cc works, beeps and all... the screen is warped but i don't think that would stop it from working all together

The beeping when you take the key out could be the reminder that the moon roof is open. If it isn't actually open, maybe it's sending a bad signal?

My sunroof has about a 15 second delay from closing the door to making the beeps, if it helps.

The beeping sound when exiting the car is a sunroof open reminder. Check to ensure the sunroof is compleely closed and it should fix that.

My sunroof chimer used to do that. I searched and found the circuit board and used a solder gun to remove the buzzer. There is a how too on it in the FAQ sections.

The 91-94 had "cornering lights" instead if fogs, the help when making a turn in the dark by highlighting the side you are turning too (by far my favorite feature of my car).

Ac fan needs replaced

And reverse lights could be the bulbs or wiring somewhere. Check around the shifter to see if it's stripped. Also the ECU could be bad causing the lights not to work but I doubt it.


Good luck

For your back up lamps i'd first check ur back up light switch it should be on the RH side of the Tranny, Here is your wiring diagram for the lamps check to see if there is voltage when the back up switch is closed(when in R)



For your AC/Heater I'd say either ur resistor or the blower motor it's self might have gone bad.
and all that is behind your glove box.

I believe those are the last two things you have to fix right?

Yea that's probably going to be the last thing I work on... so after I get the kits for the cluster in the climate control that will probably be the time I'll have to work on the AC....

is that going to be complex electrical or just bolt on plug and play?
