Hello, All!
Few days ago I lost my power steering. It just gone, and steering wheel became heavy on low rpms.
So I replaced the power steering fluid and then realized, that my A/C unit and compass are not working as well.
I opened the fuse box and what I found:

16th fuse is dead and even new one is not working...
Looks like this extra wires were doing something to make it work...
Any ideas?

Nothing quite like buying an idiot-owned car. :(
Time to get the service CD with electrical diagram. Remove the wires, get out the multimeter and see which circuits work and which don't.
I doubt we can do much to help with just a picture of the Oklahoma Engineering.

Remove the wires, replace the fuses, see what doesn't work and troubleshoot from there.

That's called Yankee engineering, why spend money when you can jury rig it for free.
The power for that fuse could come from the Power Distribution Block under the hood

Yep, will get fuse set today, remove the block and start checking all of them.
Where I can get the wiring diagram?

Just went thru the all fuses inside and outside.
Found just one dead 50A fuse under the hood:

This one gives power to 16 and 18 fuses inside. So the trick with two wires was quick fix for that fuse, lol. :censor:
Everything working just great now, thnx all. :coolman:

Glad to see it all worked out.:)

In Russia we called such quick fixes as a "collective farm tuning", it sounds like "kolkhoz tuning" or just "kolkhoz". :)
