  • Three headaches

    I am posting in this "General Tech board" because I have "three different headaches" happening at the same time.

    Both signal lights not signaling, one of the lights not turning on at all. I've tried the following without success: Wires of the aftermaket headlamps removed from the signals wiring; wiring checked, fuses checked, bulbs checked.

    While fixing the signals, I checked the coolant, it has a milky brown color. I tried to turn on the car, the car tries to start only, but there's not injection, and there's a gas smelling. I haven't checked the starter and ignition fuses, they're metalic color and cubic shaped and I don't have the device to test them.

    Do I have an electrical problem? Is it everything connected? or, Are they three different problems? Any comment will be greatly appreciated.

    check your signal relay for the signal issue

    you coolant looking like someone took a sh*t in it means your UIM/LIM gaskets are toast

    3) if your not getting fuel, you shouldn't smell fuel...how do you know your not getting fuel? have you checked for spark?

      Signal fixed: Bad connection on the driver's side, and a replacement of flasher (under the steering wheel)

      UIM/LIM ? What's that?

      My friend, a mechanic, fix the starting problem: No fuse on "PCM Battery," fuse that is close to "fuel pump," so he put the fuse and the problem was solved. He said that maybe I removed it by accident, but I don't think so. I never touch that fuse because "PCM battery" didn't sound to me like that was the cause.
