ABS Relays, and Heaters

by **SC V6** » Wed Dec 24, 2003 4:36 pm

I am storing my car, and today I went to start it, and a noticed that the ABS light was on... then I noticed that my CD player wasn;t playing.. and figured that when I hooked the battery charger up to the battery, it blew a few fuses and relays.. the only thing that still is going wrong is that I can't turn traction control off, and can't shift out of park w\o using the hidden button... and my heater and AC doesn't turn on.. now im positive that its the relays.. where would I order these from, and how to make sure they are blown
thanks

Have your alternator checked (this is becoming a common theme here lately).

not an alternator.. I had it replaced less than 300 miles ago... its not that.> I hooked up a battery charger to the battery when it was connected to the car... which is why the Relays would be blown... im just wondering the best way to get those ordered
thanks

ANYONE know where to order Denso Relays other than the rip off Dealership?

I'd still have the alternator looked at, since what you're describing is textbook alternator failure.

You can get relays from either a junkyard (remember, this is a Camry- they are not difficult to find), or try Conicelli online. I order Mitsubishi parts there about once a month, they're good people, and cheap.

What was the problem?

My head light ( inside the car ) , the dash clock and the 2 front headlights ( expect the hight beam) are not working, I changed the relay a month ago and after the replacement, everything was working perfectly until a week or so, I started again facing the same problems. Any idea? Alternator problems? :-?

just some fuses popped..

Well, fuses don't just pop. I'd start looking around for a possible cause.

I know the reason... and I already fixed it.. I hooked a car charger up to my car, and when I locked my doors, it had a power serge to charge the battery and popped fuses..
