I've been testing the various circuits in my SC to try to locate the electrical problem that started the long saga and mess. I've been testing it using this method...
No battery
remove one fuse at a time
test resistance on each side of circuit where the fuse was
All circuits should be open (i.e. not working) so I should not show any resistance at all.
One circuit (actually 3 but they're all connected at the power distrobution box) does show resistance. The circuits in question are labelled "I" "J" and "K" and are I-auto shock, J-Ignition switch, and K-Anti-lock module.
Should this show as a closed circuit when there's no power to the car at all?
I think it should be like any other circuit and show that it's open. I've been having some other electrical issues that started pointing to the ignition switch as a possible problem, then I had massive electrical issues and it's been parked for over a year and a half now. I've got it back together now and want to track down the problem to its source. After testing the circuits I'm nearly convinced that it's the ignition switch that's causing all my grief. I'm not 100% confident in my electrical ability yet, so I'd like someone else to chime in and confirm my suspisions. Thanks.
