600 Horsepower Viper Now Out

Q: im glad you found the problem. thanks for the update. the blower motor was old and drawing too much current. it fried the ignition switch & its wiring harness. ed h. wrote sounds like a bad ground somewhere; instead of the current going to ground through the normal/correct route its backfeeding into the common power source. i would start by inspecting the ground at the brake lights only because they are probably more susceptable to corrosion. next i would check the blower circuit. if you dont find a bad ground at either location inspect the ground for every component shared by the common power source. ive seen really weird things happen from a bad ground... first thing the other morning the brake warning light red one not the abs one came on and the blower wouldnt blow. when i turn the blower switch off the brake light goes off. also in reverse the reverse lights dont work and the same brake warning light goes on. i notice in the wiring diagram that the blower motor & reverse lights get power from the same point on the ignition switch. but i dont see the connection to the brake light. i assume ive got a bad connection or ground somewhere where to get started .
