Ok, here's the problem. When the ignition is OFF I can still turn on my heat/climate control and it drains my battery. So I orderd a helms... I've done the troubleshooting. Now I need some help to find out where the hell this ground is located G201/G401... anyone?

ne1?

 

not sure what your doing but from the wiring diagram you show, the ground should be the black wire in the yellow six pin conector. Make sure you check it though. use a test light and probe the black wire. it should light up. Hope I helped.

 

help him out ne1! personally id go with the black

 

I don't remember where it is, but I know the Helm book shows it. Look up front in the electrical chapter, where they show all the component locations.

But I bet your problem isn't the ground. That should always be ground. It's the power lead (green??). That one should only have power when the key is on.

 

car goes to honda tomorrow at nine... i better bring some ky

 

Noooo!! dont cut the blue wire... its the black... wait .. or is it the blue?..

its the black!

 

lol, i know it's the black... I was asking where the physical ground was.. i looked into the helms a little more and found it... didnt fix the problem though

Start pulling fuses until it goes dead. Or follow the green wire.

When you find out, then disconnect it from there & hook it back up the way it's supposed to be. You've got the wiring drawings in your Helm book...

 

OK, I looked at the Helm book. The fan speed resistors are on the ground side of the circuit. The blue/black wire coming off the top of that picture. (NOT the green one.)

There's a blower relay in the under-hood fuse box. Take it out, see whether that makes the blower stop. If so, look for the page saying how to test the relay. Do that.

If the relay's OK, then check whether #4 in the relay's socket has battery voltage all the time or only when the key's on. It SHOULD be only with the key on.

Post back what you find...
