newbie firehawk owner - and a turn signal question

Post by kkempter » Thu Apr 29, 2010 2:52 am

Hi all;

I just bought a 1995 Firehawk, build # 0344 - I verified the slp numbers as authentic and the previous owner gave me the slp birth certificate. I had it checked out and the mechanic says it's in amazingly great shape, the body is clean, only 52,000 miles on it and it's in excellent shape mechanically. I'm lovin it so far, on top of all that it's a convertible as well and the top looks like new.

I am having a single issue, thought I'd ping the list before I take it to a local pontiac dealer to see if this may be a known issue like the low coolant sensor. My turn signal fuse keeps blowing. I put in a new fuse and sometimes it lasts an hour or so, but most of the time the fuse blows immediately. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance

Check the wiring.

Check the wiring harness (cables, wrapped wire bundles) near the junctions between panels/sections, see if a metal edge wore through the insulation.
If you washed it, check if water got into the turn signal lens, allowing the circuit to short out eventually.
