Where is the ELD, in the outer fuse box? Can it be tested?

Re: Could it be my spark plugs?

i'm thinkin its gotta be fused related and that somewhere along the stock wiring, something either burned up, or got frayed, or possibly both. i read all 3 pages of this post so far, and one would assume it would be a ground, but its not.

get a fuse tester and go thru and test every fuse in the car, under the hood, and under the steering wheel compartment. if it comes up negative, i have no clue man...by the time u go thru all this stuff, u would have had enuff to save for another car! lol

good luck though.

Re: Could it be my spark plugs?

Could a fuse receive damage without blowing? I have pulled about 20 fuses for physical enspection but have not actually testedthem.

Re: Could it be my spark plugs?

i dont think so but i guess its possible. ive had fuses melt to the point where the wire inside was fine but physically the fuse did not sit properly in the holder and make contact.

Re: Could it be my spark plugs?

UPDATE: The cause of the problem was I didn't slow charge the cap, I didn't put the resistor in. We now know why I have the problem, we only need to find the problem!
