'Thought I would give props to the board here. My PW's went totally dead out of nowhere the other day. I checked the manual for a dedicated fuse but found none. That's when I jumped on here and searched.
It must be common for a broken wire on these vehicles, because that's what I found; a Light Blue with Black Stripe was broken clean in half in the Rubber Boot between the Door and Body.. I didn't take it to far, but it might be a ground because I checked both sides for power with my meter with the Key Off, but only got ground continuity on the Body side.. Good to know when you're trying to strip wires in tight spaces near metal..
Anyways, it took me about 10 minutes to splice in some extra wire with some wire nuts.
Life is back to normal.
