Thank you for this video! This was a lifesaver! I so appreciate it
Yes, I apologize, I thought I had finished the post. So I took off the front passenger tire and pulled the fender liner back, and right there was the main wiring harness, laying up against the exhaust tube & crimped in half on one end. I checked it thoroughly, there were no wires exposed or burned through, so I pulled the heat shield back, and tucked the wiring behind there, put it back together. Then I pulled the glove box out and checked the star connector. There was 2 wires that were barely hanging onto it, literally by a thread. I cut the frayed ones off, stripped the ends and re-wired the connector. I replaced the 15 Amp with a 20 Amp, in the f08 spot, put that all back together. Then crossed my fingers and started it up...No check engine light, no service throttle light, no traction control, no limp mode since. I have driven it daily & nothing. Its running perfect again. I don't know if the heat from the exhaust on that harness was causing it or the frayed wires that connect to the Star connector, so far, so good.
Happy to hear you found the issues!
You know what, your right, I didn't even think it through to that extent. The last thing I need to do is overheat the wiring. To be honest, when it was blowing the fuses, I got stranded without any 15 amp fuses, only had the spares in the fuse box, and so 20 amp was what I had been using everytime it blew. Thank God nothing happened
Thanks!! I'm just thankful it was like you said, an easy fix! I do have to say it was fun doing the troubleshooting & so rewarding that it didnt have to go to the dealership for service. But I have to give props where their due...So to everyone who helped me, I seriously can't thank you enough guys!
