360 Electrical Questions.
If anyone can offer some insight I would greatly appreciate it!

Two separate issues. The first is the fuel door switch and rear glove compartment switch have stopped working. Does anyone know if there is a relay for these? I checked all of the fuses and nothing is bad. Owners manual does not say anything about a fuse for those switches.

Next issue is yesterday while on a cruise my blinkers stopped working. I talked to a dealer and they offered me zero help and just said bring the car in, problem is that's 2 hours away. I talked to Ricambi and they think its a bad relay. However the flashers are still working and from what I can tell they are on the same relay. So any ideas? Ricambi wants $300 for the relay which really sucks to order if that isn't the problem.

Thanks!

 

The two switches (if you have a coupe) should be on a similar circuit for other switches on the console. If everything else is working except those two then you have a short in the power side. Easy to pull the console and check the wiring.

You need to become very proficient with a volt meter. the blinkers could be a fuse, relay, connection at the steering column, bulbs, etc. If you don't want to pay a technician to find the issue then start tracing wires and find out where the power is coming from, where the power is going, and where the power stops. Easiest thing to do is literally pull the bulbs and find out if you have a good ground and if there is power at the bulbs.

All your fuses and relays are behind the seats.

 

Where and what is my rear glove compartment?

 

I think that the Spider has a lockable glove box on the firewall between the seats.

There are also fuses and relays in the front trunk........

 

Yes, indeed. It has only a open button, like the front trunk..

 

Ah ha different to the coupe then.
