Idrees Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Hi guysYesterday my brother was replacing his wing mirror on his 95 GT but the plug was different so we had to cut the plug off the old mirror and wired it to the new mirror (The three wires were the same)Right, fitted the mirror on and everything back in place and noticed that both windows had stopped winding and both wing mirrors stopped working too. Also the headunit, sidelights and the front four indicators stopped working.We took the car to an electrician and he checked to see the trip switch had come in to action but that wasn't the case and he didn't find the problem.Today hes opened the trip switch and played about with it, and hes got the windows working again but the mirrors, front indicators, sidelights and head unit still aren't working at all.Anybody have a clue to whats gone wrong? All the fuses and bulbs have been checked and they're fine!Any help appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_Ragger Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 First thing to check is if thers power going to each thing that aint working. Geta test light or multi meter onto the sidelights, turn them on and see if theres power to them, do that with all the stuff not working. If there is power then theres a serious problem,but i doubt there will be any so have to go back to fuses/relays ect ect. Check that first though, may take a while but worth it to confirm.Are you sure you wired the mirror in correct bud? You could have just blown the fuse.Check all the fuses for a damaged one.If theres none that are shot, do as above, slap a multimeter on the items not working and see if there getting power.More than likely a fuse problem, as there only low amp fuses and blow with the slightest overload Quote Link to post Share on other sites
