Major electrical problem

[sho4life]

So I bought someone elses problem and here is what I have. The eatc temp is always on hottest setting. changing temp doesnt help. The cruise doesnt work and the airbag light blinks code 32. It dosent start unless you turn the key to on and wait 5 seconds. Replaced starter same problem. Sometimes I get a beep from the computer? The fuse for the ac is blown and when replaced instantly blows. I think its all interconnected somehow.

well, you clearly have at least one hard short in the system. unfortunately, the only way to fix it is to trace the appropriate wires until you find where that is.

if you don't have a factory wiring diagram for your year, then you should locate one - that will save you a lot of time as you will know what you are trying to trace.

I have two ideas on what it may be. The black ignition part where you turn the key rotates on its own. Could this affect the starting problem? also the heater is the blend door for sure. as for not starting possibly the ircm? i turned the ket the other day to acc and the fan or something kicked on.
