    Door Lock switch and Power Mirror switch getting 8 volts

    I had to pull off some corrugated tubing and electrical tape but I did find what I thought I would, looks like a previous owner put a simple crimp in here before and it rotted away and broke as I was taking it apart. The crimp is the blue rectangle that turned blue from corrosion. I will be...

    Door Lock switch and Power Mirror switch getting 8 volts

    This harness that runs near the battery tray here that runs all the way to C147 into the cab near the brake booster. I notice that it pokes out into the battery tray, so sometimes when I put the battery down it crushes the harness a little.

    Door Lock switch and Power Mirror switch getting 8 volts

    I just had an idea. I currently share a battery between my 1997 F-150 and my 1992 Explorer. Whenever I put the battery in the explorer, I think I might be smashing the harness from the maxifuse box. I will send pictures tomorrow, I think this may be where I find the damaged wire, and it would...

    Door Lock switch and Power Mirror switch getting 8 volts

    I did take apart the switch and clean the contacts (they were very dirty), but it still isn't going to work with 2.6 volts, I'm going to peek around in the engine bay tomorrow.

    Door Lock switch and Power Mirror switch getting 8 volts

    I was able to read the same 2.6 volts at a connector up in the dash (I believe it was C213), all of the wiring that I am able to inspect looks perfectly fine there. Is it possible there is a damaged wire in the engine compartment coming from the fuse box to the connector on the firewall (C147)...

    Door Lock switch and Power Mirror switch getting 8 volts

    Well, those were the numbers I got a few weeks ago when I tested it then. Just now, I tested the door lock switch again, and it read about 2.6 volts, and went to 0 when I pressed the switch in either direction.

    Door Lock switch and Power Mirror switch getting 8 volts

    I apologize for the incredibly late response, I'm finally living back where the explorer is located. I read about 8 volts on wire 171 BK/W going into the driver door lock switch, and wire 171 BK/W going into the power mirror switch, both on the main driver switch panel thing. Where should I be...

    Door Lock switch and Power Mirror switch getting 8 volts

    As the title says, I am reading 8 volts on these two switches power wires on the main switch board. The power window switch is receiving source voltage and works as expected. When attempting to use the door locks or mirror, nothing happens. No movement and no sound from either. I am new to...

    A couple of electrical gremlins.

    I noticed that when pressing the mirror switch buttons, it doesn't feel very responsive or clicky, I'll definitely try and take it apart before buying another one.

    1992 Explorer - Zero Electrical Power

    Hello everyone. I just bought a 1992 Explorer XLT Eddie Bauer that has been sitting for about a year. It ran when parked in mid 2020. The battery is from 09/19, and was showing good voltage with my meter. Nothing happens at all when you turn the key on, or try to crank it. When I try to jump it...
