User 1998 mazda b4000 high mount light doesn't work. where is fuse located? not shown on manual.
ChatGPT The high mount brake light fuse on a 1998 Mazda B4000 may not be shown in the owner's manual because it is often a shared circuit with other lights and accessories.
That being said, the fuse for the high mount brake light is typically located in the engine compartment fuse box or under the dashboard fuse box. Check your owner's manual for the exact location of the fuse box in your vehicle.
Once you locate the fuse box, look for a fuse labeled "STOP" or "CHMSL" (Center High Mount Stop Lamp) or "BRAKE" that is related to the high mount brake light. Use a fuse puller or needle-nose pliers to remove the fuse and check if it has blown.
If the fuse is blown, replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage rating. If the new fuse also blows, there may be an underlying issue with the wiring or the high mount brakelight assembly itself that will require further investigation by a qualified mechanic.
Look at the end of the dash and between the drivers side door for a second fuse panel. I think everything you mention works on one data bus. You can remove the button pad on the drivers door. Since it gets used all th3 time i# might have gone bad messing up the works.
I'd recommend starting with the fuse, if you haven't checked it already.
Your vehicle's radio uses a blue, 15amp fuse. It's possible the fuse is blown and needs to be replaced.
The fuse box will be under the dashboard, behind the cover, on the passengers side of your center console.
If the fuse is intact (not blown), the radio has either failed or there's an electrical issue that'll need to be inspected by someone who can diagnose vehicle electrical issues.
Check in the under hood fuse block or power distribution center for fuse #72 and #75 these are 60 amp fuses. If the problem isn't there you have Two separate problems, check at the switches for battery voltage and ground. The most common problem is switches.
XL7 not XL-7 (the dash matters big time) i'll guess its a dash.7 REDUX in your post you said fuses are good (tested too) have you checked and reseated the connectors on the OBJECTS that fail>?? (that is free to do)
we now learn many things fail on car, even HEAD LIGHTS????? and no statement of what works. in total! does car drive perfect night and day????? just a clue here, and win big. huh>?
I can't drive your car and see all those many things failing,& that are. ok .. and what does not fail....
but this car has CAN-bus (or the like) a NETWORK for sure, and bus structured.
and does not work like some 1990 Vitara. at all, not even close to same. (forget them...) it's a BUS system. each switch you throw sends a command on the bus. it's failing I bet because of communication errors that you fail to see because you did not use a real scan tool at the time of failure. it must be scanned while failing !
cant fix it if its not broke,...(unless you drive scan and log data. like i do all the time for all intermittent of any kind....)
does it fail engine running? is running battery voltage at 13.3 to 15vdc if voltage is low all computers in car will go nuts. (same with your cell phone) this is a fact and what i check first? valid battery voltages first. 2nd after fuses, (done already) then scan it. using a real scan tool not some relic. a real tool can see all CAN buss errors U codes top the list.
P1,p2, p3 and B codes too.... all seen. failing.
you can buy tools rent tools or get the car scanned failing at any ASE shop. car parts store may have junky or relic tools. (i can name 10 that are) some tools only do old federal P0xxx codes. say some old 1996 tool.
try a real shop and win. really http://www.ase.com/Landing-Pages/Car-Owners/Find-a-Repair-Shop/Shop-Locator.aspx
This is a rare instance of an actual "short circuit". You can tell because a fuse is blowing. Shorts circuits normally can't exist without some damage taking place, and in this case it's a blown fuse. The high stop light should not be related to the dashboard, but you really should check the stop light, it might be filled with water, which would blow a fuse. Have you identified, which fuse is blowing? That might be a clue. Either way, you have a real short circuit and you have to find it. Not always easy, but look for obvious things. Wires that are pinched, or rubbing on something. Check anything that has been tampered with since the vehicle is new, like an aftermarket alarm system. They are famous for poor electrical work.
although I have not experienced this problem in the exact vehicle you have, General Motors has had problems with the turn signal switches in many of their vehicles. The turn signals may still work properly, but the electric signal from the brake light switch passes through the turn signal switch (also called a combination switch) before it goes to the brake lights. I assume you have no problem shifting out of park or you would have mentioned it, which tells me the brake light switch is functioning properly. First thing to do, as always is to check for blown fuses. If it is a blown fuse, you then need to determine what caused the fuse to blow. If you have towed a trailer recently, it could have been faulty wiring in the trailer, or it could be faulty wiring in the trailer lighting harness of the Escalade.
First, a little "auto repair 101" Fuses are NEVER the CAUSE of an electrical circuit failure. Blown fuses are ALWAYS the RESULT of an electrical circuit failure. Simply replacing a fuse without locating and correcting the reason the fuse blew in the first place, will only cause another fuse to give up its life to keep your vehicle from burning to the ground. (In which case, the first fuse has thus died in vain.)

Now that we have that straight, I'll give you some information about your particular vehicle. The power windows and the power mirrors in a 2004 Grand Cherokee are controlled by the electronic door modules located inside the doors. These door modules are, in turn, operated by the Body Control Module. (BCM) If all of the windows and mirrors are not working the cause is probably on the BCM side of the equation. There may be a voltage supply problem to the BCM or there may be a data line problem between the BCM and the door modules. (The phone line might be dead :) )
The only accurate way to diagnose this problem is to scan the BCM for fault codes and use BCM data to assist in determining where the cause of the problem may be located.
