Wow Calgary is huge for z's here

I can't give you any advice for who to take it to, its a tuff call. honestly there are about 4-5 active people for calgary z cars who are on this forum, makes this city seem alot bigger than it really is.

Yeah, it's great is'nt it!! But sorry mrrogers, can't help ya either, I'm new in town, and asking everyone else the same sort of questions. You may end up tracking down an fsm and doing it yourself, cuz alot of mechanics won't event touch the efi stuff!! The L28fi has got to have the record for most intimidating to fix!! I worked in a mechanic shop for a year, and hav'nt seen a car come through with that much stuff hanging off the intake. Anyways, good luck, and I hope to run into you sometime.

Please describe your problem in detail.

With respect, I disagree.

Did you ever work on a Ford 2.9 L FI system?

Did you ever change the spark plugs on a Plymouth Voyager V 6?

Did you ever change the heater core in a Chevy Van_Duro?

had a problem with my signal lights. there is an earlier post in detail what the problem was titled "signal lights". so i changed my flasher, when i changed it, the fuse blew out. after that, i started the car only to hear a noise near the fuse box. i took out each fuse one by one to see where it was coming from. i took out the meter gauge fuse and the noise stopped. the new flasher and old flasher continued to blow fuses so i stopped there. any suggestions?

Thank you

Re: Calgary help (turn signals)

A couple of questions. Is your car a Turbo or N/A?

Do the Emergency Flashers work correctly?

Which fuse is blowing? The wiring diagram I have is in very poor condition so what position in the fuse box is it in? How is it labeled?

Was the fuse blowing before you changed the flasher?

When does the fuse blow?

If you remove the flasher does the fuse still blow when you attempt to use the turn signals?
