1997 buick Skylark is having several electric problems


Question:

MY 1997 buick Skylark is having several electric problems. First the hazards went out (and took the signal and brake fuses with it). The hazard lites have been unhooked, have got the brake lite to work, but still can't get the signals to work? Any idea? I just wonder if I should keep putting $ into this car. 167,000 miles. Already Tried: replacing bulbs, disconnecting hazards, put a bigger fuse in the brake place, and brake light was working for quite awhile, now it has blown.


Answer;


The only problem with disconnecting things on and OBDII vehicle, is that there are individual computers for things like windows, mirrors, radios and so forth. So by disconnecting items or fuses, it lies to the computer about voltages. Each circuit needs to be tested independently.
