SOURCE: Bought 2007 Saturn Aura electric seats wont work

Those electric seats have relays(for movement & heater element) and a sophisticated DPDT switch. Hooking up a 12volt supply won't work,,,not to mention 20amp 12volt power supply

SOURCE: 93 Buick LeSabre. Battery not charging

use a volt meter while the car is running to check the main wire or large red wire coming off the back of the alternator it should read a steady 14 volts, the volt meter must be set at dc 10 amp settings, ground the black wire to ground or a metal surface some where on the car and touch the red probe wire on the volt meter to the main terminal of the alternator as i said it should read a constant 14 volts if it doesn't the alternator is bad.

SOURCE: need wiring diagram for 1996 GMC Sonoma, I lost

On the 96 GMC sonoma my fuses are located on a small panel on the drivers side of the dash, it's hidden by the door when it's closed, you'll see a round knob. Under my hood is ONLY the master cylinder and cruise control unit. NO fuses are under my hood either. The relays are behind a panel in the glove compartment.

Vw touran 1.9 tdi 2007 year model , front windscreen wiper not working , new fuses new relay ,is there a relay or control unit near the wiper motor ?

You need to test for ground... to assure yourself the motor is good. 1. Remove connector, 2. Use a mutimeter, set it to continuity... touch both ends of meter together should show resistance of wires to meter... multimeter good if change is shown... TESTING WIPER MOTOR OK? 3. where the connector was attached, should be 2 connections if it is 2 wire unit, with both of those connections see if the motor has continuity, touch both red one side black on other... if it shows change closer to zero the better... if there is change then good motor determined if not then it is OPEN... Will not work, replacement or repair of motor necessary. Let me know if there is more needed... AS THERE IS MORE... if it is in the car wiring. Either way an Open Ground it sounds like! Luck be with you.

My new fuel pump only primes when wired direct?

Well you need to get out the DVOM - digital volt ohm meter an check for battery voltage at the fuel pump relay ! if you replaced it you saw the holes it plugs into in the relay / fuse box ? Put you volt meter on the 20 volt scale , hook the black lead to the battery negative or a good engine ground an take the red lead an touch - don't stick it in an spread the terminals . Two of the holes should have battery voltage ,if not check the EEC power relay ! If you find voltage at two holes change the meter to ohms , leave the black connector on a good ground an touch the red to the two holes left , one should be open or OL on the meter , this is the control side from the engine computer . the last hole should show a few ohms resistance , this is down through the wiring to an through the fuel pump to ground . You have two different wiring circuits , control an load side , load side being power to the fuel pump an control side is power an the engine computer supplying a ground energizing the relay closing the contacts in the relay sending battery voltage to the fuel pump. Test don't guess !

WHAT SHOULD I DO TO FIX THE PASSANGER'S SIDE FOG LIGHT, AFTER TRYING TO REPLACE THE BULB, AND STILL NOT WORKING?

What is the condition of the bulb socket? Contacts show signs of corrosion or overheating? Use a meter to find out if it's missing the 12 volts to the bulb or if the ground is missing (open/high resistance). With the fog lamps powered on, connect the black meter lead to a good solid ground on the body of the car. Touch the red meter lead to each contact in the socket which the bulb plugs into. One of the contacts should measure about 12 volts. If no 12 volts then you will need to check fuses and wiring to find the open circuit causing the no voltage situation. If you measure 12 volts, then you know you have power to the bulb. The problem will then be with the ground. Turn off the fog lamps, set the meter to measure resistance (ohms). Leave the black meter lead connected where it was. Connect the red meter lead to the contact in the bulb socket that you did NOT measure the 12 volts at. The meter should read no/low/minimal resistance. If you measure high resistance, then you will need to locate the corrosion or open/broken wire between the bulb connector and grounding point on the car. Good luck!

My ac blower went out and its a 3 wire set up.. my other motor one im putting in is a 4 wire set up Black,blue, and red(3-wire) 2 black wires, red, and orange(4-wire) and im trying to find a way to wire...

Usually the black wire is a ground, so you can likely connect those together. To test it first use a voltage meter to check for continuity between both black leads on the new fan. If there isn't any resistance between the two black connections you can wire them together.

I bought some halo driving lights for my '03 GMC Sierra 1500, they came with a wiring harness, switch and everything needed for installation except for installation instructions. Help PLEASE!

Tools recommended for this job: wire stripper, wire crimper, volt meter, 4x quick wire connectors, 4x male crimp connectors, 4x female crimp connectors
  1. First, tape the halo and/or LED wires to the back of the headlights to keep them from tangling.
  2. Keep the pairs in order by their color, e.g. black, black (ground) and Red, Red (positive). Note: positive and ground wires might not always be black and red.
  3. Remove some of the plastic shielding at the end of the wires to expose enough copper wire, next twist the copper together to strengthen it.
  4. Shove the twisted copper into a crimp connector; crimp the location where wire and the connector end overlaps, wrap with electrical tape to secure it.
  5. Two extra wires in black and red will be helpful to make the halo/LED wire longer to easier installation. Remove shielding: show copper: use the connectors: connect the positive and ground from the headlights.
  6. Next step, turn the headlights inside the car to the [on] position.
  7. Take the volt meter and connect the negative to the negative on the battery (please use extreme precaution when doing so).
  8. The headlight harness usually will have [3] wires, generally red, black, green (headlights, ground, turn signal). Use the volt meter to test which wire will have power running through it (since the headlight is in the [on] position) which will be the headlight wire.
  9. Use the quick connector to connect the extra wires (red) to the power wire on the harness and black to the ground. This will split the current coming from the harness. Crimp the connectors and use electrical tape to secure it.
  10. Now connect the projector headlight halo wires and the harness from the car.
  11. No wires should be left over unconnected.
  12. The installation is now complete.

Where does the blue an white wire go on the alternator an what does it do

an alternator has a power out wire a smaller power in wire to excite the field, a ground wire for the field and a large ground wire. Most ground wires are brown. And most power wires are red. You check check the wire for ground and power with and ohm/volt meter. Put the voltmeter on volts and connect the black wire from the meter to ground and the red to the wire, turn on the key and if you have volts it is a power wire. If no volts the turn the key off, select ohms and attach the black meter wire to ground (such as the frame or any metal) then attach the red wire to your blue/white wire if you show 0 ohms or low ohms then it is a ground.
