Electrical Problem


Recommended Posts

My 92 SC400 with 185k miles seems to have a harness that is seriously compromised. Whenever I use the turn signals or the brake lights, the electrical system experiences a problem where the battery is severely discharged. Accompanying this is a smell of insulation burning. The problem has now shown up when I open/close the sunroof. I am surprised that the excess current that is being drawn is not tripping a fuse. Anybody got any ideas? What does a new harness cost?

sounds like wires are shorting out, maybe use the lights for a while and find where the smell is coming from...sorry if I'm not much help. electrical problems are the worst. I would look up in a service manual wiring diagram and chances are all those features you listed are wired up together and maybe that will give you an idea of where to start. You can find online versions of the manuals I know.
