i blew the ELC fuse and for some reason the car wont run on all cylanders. and i know have all the codes out of noowhere.. p0433 p0449 p0753 p1860. i dont understand why the electric lift control would do this. what else is this fuse connected to.? also i dont use the air ride i converted..

do you have/did you make any other electrical changes or splices? sounds like a short somewhere but I can't tell from here. Please comment.

ok i think that was just a fluke, i just read my invoice from the last time this happened... i took my car to the dealer and they fixed this. it had 9 diff codes showing and they state i blew fuses for 02 pwr circuit. and they said they tightened all pins.. what are they talking about? where is this so i can check?

I can't tell what they are talking about from your posts. Sorry I can't help you.

^^ Yeah that seems odd.. :/

If it is fixed I'm happy for you.

no it is not fixed. i think the fuse blowing in the elc is a fluke the car is still broken.. they fixed last time the blown fuse for 02 power circuit.. then they say if this happens again i would have to test all 9 circuits individually.. looking $500.00. want to do this myself.. just dont know where and how to look?

There are a few fuses in the instrument panel fuse block that have to do with the O2 sensors. 4th row down, 1st 2 fuses left to right. Both 10 Amp fuses. See if either of them are blown. It's a start anyway.

BTW, Those first 3 codes deal with components on those 2 fuses.

i have had my instrument panel out before never saw any fuse box? i will take it all out again but can you give me a better idea of where? can i just take the bottom cove off or the the bezel and all have to come off also?

fuses are on the left side of the dash behind removable panel labled "FUSES". Otherwise there are fuses under the back seat.

Open the drivers door. Then look at the side of the instrument panel. open the little door, simple as that.

No. There is one in the engine compartment, and 2 big ones under the rear seat.

well that sucks i checked all of them. the only one that keeps blowing is the ELC but i dont need the air ride. i converted... now i have no i dea how to fix this i was hoping there would be another fuse box i was missing..

Why do you think that it is the same issue? There are lots of reasons for the engine to run poorly. Check the fuel pressure. When was the last time the plugs and wires were replaced. Look for vacuum leaks.

i have a valve cover leak and oil leak..

That isn't going to make the engine run poorly.

they were blown. i am an idiot i used a fuse tester and it lit up green, so i did not pull them out..then i pulled everyone and saw it was blown. i put a new fuse in right away it blew... then i took apart my whole dash and under the dash ,also took the fuse block out and tightened all the pins. didn't blow yet. i will drive around 4 a wile with my car apart just in case it blows again . then i know i must have a wire touching somewhere..

thanks for everyones help

Yer not an idiot, you pulled 'em and looked. Then you did a further visual and fixed an apparent problem. You can help someone else next time with what you learned on this one.
