My 1998 OBS with 122,000 has some minor electrical problems.

 

1) My interior dome light does not work (I think the bulb is fine).

 

2) My climate control switch only works on the highest setting and does not do anything on the lower three settings.

 

3) My windshield washer fluid pumps do not work.

 

Everything else works as far as I can tell. I checked the fuses and they seem to be okay. Could these things all be related? I am still working on getting a service manual for the car, so any help would be great.

Here are some things to check.

 

Problem:

 

1. I have heard of problems with the screws near the map light severing the wire to the dome light.

 

2. The blower fan resistors that control the fan speed may be bad. These are usually near the blower in the ducting. Look for a wire connector from the motor to the resistors.

 

3. The washer nozzles may be plugged with wax or other debris. Try clearing them with a pin or small strand of wire.
