The led re-outs @ top right inside refer are not visible but this is on and off. When the refer door switch is touched it seems to short out the display as well as the ice dispenser lights, I think this is do to a bad switch which I am replacing today but this morning both sides refer & freezer are warming up, can this be caused by an erratic reading from a bad refer door switch?

    I would suggest replaceing the main control board ONLY . Not the light switch OR ptc relay . The main control board is behind the refrig , behind an 8 X 10 panel and is easily replaceable after unplugging the refrig . The part number for the board for your refrig is WR55X10942 . Only about 7 plugs are required to remove and reinstall on the new board .

I have a 1998 buick park ave.runs great in every way except interior lights won't turn off when we turn car off and sometimes radio light stays on too, so it drains the battery and makes the car die.

Inadvertent Power
At the body control module (SBM) connector C1 cavity D1, inadvertent power is both an output and an input. The inadvertent power is either an output or an input, but never both. When the inadvertent power output is inactive, activating any lamp switch grounds the inadvertent power input through the lamp. As a result of the input, the SBM will activate the inadvertent power output.
The inadvertent power output supplies battery positive voltage (B+) to the lamps on CKT 1732 (ORN). Any of these lamps may drain the battery if you leave the lamps on. The SBM has a battery protection feature in order to protect the electrical system from these unwanted loads. The following 4 conditions may activate the inadvertent power output:
The ignition switch is in RUN.
The inadvertent power output is inactive and the inadvertent power input receives an active lamp input.
Any door opens.
The SBM receives an input from the remote function actuator (RFA) module.
The SBM deactivates the inadvertent power output if any lamp is active for more than 10 minutes and the ignition switch is OFF during the entire period.
Interior Lamp Control
The body control module (SBM) controls the function of the courtesy lamps. The IP junction block SBM fuse supplies battery positive voltage (B+) at all times to the SBM inadvertent power output. Battery positive voltage (B+) is supplied to the courtesy lamps as described above. The SBM provides a ground path to the courtesy lamps from the theatre dim-1 and the theatre dim-2 outputs . The theatre dim-1 supplies ground to the lamps on CKT 156 (WHT). The theatre dim-2 supplies ground to the lamps on CKT 157 (GRY). The SBM activates the outputs when a door is opened or the courtesy lamp switch activates. The outputs are deactivated when the SBM detects that all of the doors are closed and the courtesy lamp switches are inactive. If the outputs are deactivated because of a door closing, the outputs are deactivated with the theatre dimming function. The theatre dimming function causes the lamps to fade out gradually over a period of 3 seconds. If the outputs are deactivated by a courtesy lamp switch, the outputs are deactivated immediately without the theatre dimming function.


Your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop .

Incandescent Lamps
When the park lamps are on, battery positive voltage (B+) is applied to the park lamp input in the panel dimming module. The dimming switch on the headlamp switch varies in resistance as the dimming switch is operated. The panel dimming module receives a variable input voltage based on the resistance of the dimming control. The panel dimming module supplies a variable voltage through CKT 8 (GRY) to the incandescent lamps. The voltage is proportional to the voltage input from the dimming switch. The lamps become brighter as the voltage level increases. The lamps become dimmer as the voltage level decreases.
VF Displays
The following components have a VF display:
• The radio
• The heater and A/C programmer
• The instrument cluster
• The head-up display (HUD)
When a module receives an ignition in RUN input, the module activates the VF display at full intensity. When the park lamps are on and the vehicle senses nighttime conditions, the lamp control module (LCM) supplies a dim enable signal to the components. When the module receives the dim enable input, ther module dims the VF display to the current dimming level. The radio and instrument cluster receive the dimming level input via CKT 8 (GRY). The HUD has a separate dimming control on the HUD switch in the overhead console. The HUD receives the dimming level input through CKT 622 (BRN). The heater and A/C programmer receive the enable and dimming level inputs from the radio through CKT 724 (PPL/WHT).

07grandprix my door locks are all actin up sometimes they work & sometimes they dont I can set the alarm even tho they wont lock & the alarm goes off if u open the door but won't lock with the key/pad

The Power Door Lock System is controlled by the body control module (BCM) and can be activated by any one of the following
?€¢
A door lock switch lock or unlock actuation.


?€¢
A door lock cylinder switch unlock actuation.


?€¢
A keyless entry transmitter actuation.


?€¢
An automatic door lock actuation (Personalization function).


?€¢
An automatic door unlock actuation (Personalization function).


?€¢
A last door closed locking (LDCL) actuation (Personalization function).


Door Lock Operation
When the body control module (BCM) detects a transition of either of the door lock switches to the lock position, it switches the door lock actuator lock control circuit to voltage. Since the lock actuator unlock control circuits are at ground potential within the BCM, the door lock actuator motors transition to the lock position.
Driver Door Unlock Operation
When the body control module (BCM) detects a transition of either of the door lock switches to the unlock position, it switches the driver door lock actuator unlock control circuit to voltage. Since the door lock actuator lock control circuit is at ground potential within the BCM, the left front (LF) door lock actuator motor transitions to the Unlock position.
The driver door lock actuator unlock control circuit is a dedicated control circuit used only for the driver door lock actuator motor. This is done so that the driver door may be unlocked by itself using a keyless entry transmitter or an automatic door unlock function (if programmed).
Faulty electrical connections or wiring may be the cause of intermittent conditions. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections.
A factory scan tool would help for checking inputs from the door switches to the BCM ! You could do it with out scan tool , a lot more work involved ! Need a wiring diagram an a component location chart an wiring harness routing diagram !
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items:
?€¢
Wiring broken inside the insulation


?€¢
Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector


?€¢
Poor terminal to wire connection--Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.


?€¢
Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The conductor can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff sections of wire in the suspect circuits.


?€¢
Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent open or short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.


?€¢
Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components


?€¢
Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order to verify the customer concern.


?€¢
Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.


?€¢
Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.


You should take it to a ASE certified repair shop if not familiar with Automotive electronics !

What causes fuses to blow after there replaced.

A fuse blows when there is too much current drawn thru it. Let's say it is for the radio. If the radio is turned off and the fuse blows immediately then the power wire to the radio has a bare spot somewhere and is touching the metal of the car or the power wire is touching the negative wire. If it blows when you turn it on then the radio has a short inside or a malfunction causing it to draw too much current.
Let's say it is for the dome light. If you put the fuse in with the door closed and the dome light is set for DOOR and blows right away then the short is in the wire leading to the door switch or the switch is shorting out, letting + touch the - metal body of the car. The entire body is negative. That is why there is usually only one big thick black wire on the battery for negative. If the fuse blows when the door is opened, then the switch is probably shorting out, or the wires going to the dome light.
Generally when the fuse blows when you turn something on, then whatever you are turning on is probably junk, unless it is a stereo that draws too much power for the thickness of the wire, or the stereo is junk.

I have a problem. When I turn on my printer, the first symbol from top constantly blinks and it doesn't print anything. How can I solve this issue?

Welcome to FixYa!

If the first symbol on the top is constantly blinking as shown in the picture below, It means that a paper or a foreign object has jammed your printer.

jas247_22.gif

Jam can occur in 3 areas. Please refer to the image below.
1. Internal Areas
2. Input Trays
3. The Output Bins
jas247_23.gif

To clear the jam, turn the printer off and disconnect the power cord. Be careful not to tear the paper in case of a paper jam. If a small piece of paper remains in the printer, it could cause additional paper jam.

Let's clear out the Internal Areas first. Push the button to open the print-cartridge door, and then remove the print cartridge. To prevent damage, do not expose the print cartridge to light. Cover it with a piece of paper. Please refer to the image below.

jas247_24.gif
If jammed paper is visible, grasp it with both hands and slowly pull it out of the printer. Please refer to the image below.
jas247_25.gif
If no paper was jammed inside the print-cartridge door, open the Output Bin or the back door
of the printer. To avoid damaging the printer, do not attempt to clear a jam in the top output bin by pulling the paper straight out.
jas247_26.gif
Again, if jammed paper is visible, grasp it with both hands and slowly pull it out of the printer.
If no paper or foreign object is visible, close the back door of the printer.

Next, let's take a look at the Input Tray. (We have already taken out the print cartridge.)
Lift the Tray 1 roller cover, grasp the jammed paper or foreign object, and slowly pull it out of the printer. Please refer to the image below.
jas247_28.gif
If no jammed paper is or foreign object is visible, open Tray 2 and see if a paper is visible. Again remove it slowly with both hands. Please refer to the image below.
jas247_29.gif
Close Tray 2.
If no jammed paper is visible in the second tray area, pull down the upper media guide (we have already taken out the print cartridge). With both hands, grasp the jammed paper and slowly pull it out of the printer. Please refer to the image below.
jas247_30.gif
Close the upper media guide and return back the print cartridge. Please refer to the image below.
jas247_27.gif

These steps should clear out any jams that you are experiencing.
Connect back the power cord again and turn on your printer. You should be able to print now.

Thanks for using FixYa. Keep me posted.

2001 aprilia rs125 indicators dont work on left

their sounds like their is a short in the switch or wire.

if i was testing it. id unplug the one side and test the other alone. then each wire individuality for current when i press switch to on position

shorts seem top be visible at times with visual inspection. so look before you touch. and checking the switch for resistance is a good idea also. but do not have the battery hooked up to test switch for resistance or no power to switch when testing.

Kenmore top freezer fridge beeping problem

Sounds like your on the right track. The switch getting warm is a bit of an issue, but that could be normal operation depending on a number of factors.

But, your right, the switch pops out from the front. Be sure and disconnect power before you attempt this as you don't know if the switch is on 120VAC or a low voltage power from the controller.

On an LG 2277 washer. I try to start a load. I get error message: "de"- door not closed. It looks to me that there must a switch to sense if the door is closed. Where is this switch located and how do you...

The switch is behind the front panel - to remove it, unplug the machine and:

1. Open the panel where the drain filter is (lower left side of the front panel)
2. Remove screw visible inside this area and remove the white molded plastic - also remove the screw behind that plastic.
3. Open the washer door and remove the spring loaded wire around the door gasket. Carefully pull the door gasket away from the panel push inside and then reclose the door.
4. Remove the detergent drawer and the two screws visible behind it.
5. Pull the top of the electronics panel away from the machine and lift up - place on top of machine or hook it out of the way
6 Remove the 4 screws that are visible holding the front panel to the machine. Left the entire front panel up about 2 inches and swing to the right

The wire connecting the panel to the machine on the right leads to the switch and door lock mechanism

Door ajar flashes constantly while dr on 2000 sebring convertible

I just fixed my today!-same problem on both sides--I went to the junk yard and was able to get replacement jar Switches for $5.00-- They seem to short out.-They are the push button switch inside the door well- One screw and a clip pops them out, clean the areas around it with alcohol since the switch uses the frame to make the connection. replace the switches and then check them. I also notice that the doors seem to go out of line over the course of years setting the door off just a bit not making the tight close it needs to set these switches- so I places on the door it self a piece of foam tape about 1/16 inch thick exactly where the button touches the frame of the door. That made the connection push the button all the way in and problem was solved-
