Bad Ground in Passenger Kickpanel.......
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Ok so over the past couple of days, heres what stopped working:
Passenger front door window, Sunroof, Blower motor for heat/ac
Now for all 3 of these to just stop working is just rediculous. I immediately though bad ground SOMEWHERE in the car. So i started at the battery, everything secure there, and also no corrosion. Checked voltage: 12.7 at rest not running.
So i turn the heat/ac circuit on, everything seemed normal except no fan. so i happen to take the cover off the factory kickpanel, and as i pop it off, the fan started running.
AHA!!!!!!!!!!
So i grab the kickpanel cover, and pop it off. WELL WELL WELL there is the ground right there. And to not much of my surprise, the ground is WAY loose. i can move it freely around. So i grab an 8 mm socket and throw it on the ratchet, and i give it about 8 good full turns, and boom everything works fine now.
Bad thing though, i had to rest everything in the car again though. Just in case. You would be surprised how many times i have seen a bad ground cause backfeeding issues and destroy equiptment.
Anyway, just a heads up for others just in case their own cars start to freak out for no reason.
