Still trying to fix this dammfan!
So while I was waiting to get a new alternator, I thought it would be a good idea to try and trouble shoot my low speed fan some more. I should have known better!! I got all excited and thought I was onto something and ended up tearing apart the whole right hand side wiring harness apart searhing for a bad splice/short that turned out to be a ghost.
After some cursing and head scratchiing I realized that the wiring diagram I was following did not match what is on my car. I was trying to follow pin 13 from the IRCM to all the componets spliced into that wire to narrow down a short I thought I had found. Later I realized the pin 13 I followed on the car was actually the path the wiring diagram shows for pin 9, and I still dont know where pin 9 on the car goes.
All the wiring diagrams I have seen match each other and match the year of the car. The only thing I can think of is cars made to sell in California were wired diff. for fan operation. I suspect this because in the CD manual I have shows a list of pins/circiut function for each componet. The list for the PCM mentions "(California Only)" on two pins for fan control. Other than a small mention on one other diagram I can't find any mention of a difference in Cali. cars and the others.
Sorry about being long winded but my questions are this.
-Does anyone know a differnce between cars made for California and the rest of the country?
-And if so. How can you tell if your car is one of them?
Thanks
