Electrical problems - 4/28/2004 11:48:37 AM    snappyjr   Posts: 14 Joined: 4/28/2004 Status: offline I just recently got a 1990 Daytona ES, but I have no lights. I do have reverse, and brake, but no park or head/tail light. I have the blinker on my driverside, but not the passenger. that is true with the hazards as well. I have done piles of research, and i believe the problem to be either a ground or a fuseable link... but i can't find a problem.... anyways, any help is appreciated.... i am especially interested in finding an electrical diagram for my car. thanxs.........

A bad ground can cause a butt load of electrical problems. I'll see if I can find my Chiltons on it and post the wiring diagram for you. _____________________________ 71 Plymouth Roadrunner 440 Auto.

RE: Electrical problems - 5/26/2004 12:36:29 PM    snappyjr   Posts: 14 Joined: 4/28/2004 Status: offline Okay, I hoped this could be an easy fix, and that the headlight swich assembly was messed up, so I replaced it this week-end. Wrong. I put in a new switch assembly that i know works, and I still have the same problem. I want to know if there are any realays (I assume so) and where they are. I also want to know if the computer can cause problems like I have? And if it could be the computer, would a computer out of a NON turbo car work, assuming I set the turbo up with a manual control? Thanks for any, and I meen any, help. _____________________________ 1990 Dodge Daytona ES (Want To Modify) 1999 Kia Sephia LS (Please Don't Laugh) (in reply to snappyjr) Post #: 8

You should be able to find a turbo PCM in the junkyards, the turbo motors are very common. I don't think the non-turbo PCM will work. _____________________________ 71 Plymouth Roadrunner 440 Auto.

RE: Electrical problems - 6/3/2004 12:23:15 PM    snappyjr   Posts: 14 Joined: 4/28/2004 Status: offline The turbo cars are probably fairly common, but I live in Northern Maine. That means that basically, if the junkyard doesn't have it for me to pull out, I can get one through them, but for a hefty $. Is there a way I can test it for certain, to see if the computer is doing any of it? Just found this on Ebaymotors, would it work?? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33596&item=2481040677&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW < Message edited by snappyjr -- 6/3/2004 12:24:51 PM > _____________________________ 1990 Dodge Daytona ES (Want To Modify) 1999 Kia Sephia LS (Please Don't Laugh) (in reply to 71RoadRunner) Post #: 11

RE: Electrical problems - 7/2/2006 8:57:47 PM    daytonacrazy   Posts: 5 Joined: 7/2/2006 Status: offline depending if ypu have a newer after market radio installed in it you might be using light on display wire as the ground . the actual ground is the one that looks like a flat piece of metal. after you do that replace the fuse for the lights and that fix it . If not it might be in your steering wires. (in reply to snappyjr) Post #: 12

On dual filament bulbs you can still get a blinker/turn signal and have the brake light/tail light out. Just wondering... (in reply to daytonacrazy) Post #: 13

RE: Electrical problems - 7/6/2006 7:57:53 AM    moparkindofgirl   Posts: 50 Joined: 7/2/2006 Status: offline Ok, this may sound nuts, but since you have no rear lights, have you checked the bulbs and sockets? The wiring harness in the rear tail/brake lights tend to melt down, creating some problems. I kept blowing out bulbs. Water also tends to get in there. I have had to replace the wiring harness and I have no problems yet(knock wood). These cars are also quirky with anything electrical especially when wet out. You may have to simply disconnect the battery to reset the car. Also, you may want to attempt running an onboard diagnostic of your car. You can do this by turning the key back and forth in the ignition to the accessory position three times(back towards you on the third turn), and count how many times the check engine light blinks. It will initially run a code 55 which means its starting the check and anything after that means there's a problem. Once the diagnostic is done it will run another code 55. My father in law was an ex-Dodge mechanic and he told me about this and saved me alot of headaches. If you don't have the codes, let me know.
