After getting that cleaned up and replaced I noticed that the wiper speed dial on dash, the cigarette lighter, one of the master lock buttons on dash (only on right of radio left of radio working), the blower fan are not working.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Greetings I have not been on in awhile but need some troubleshooting advice. A bit ago i pulled my 1999 996 from the garage and unfortunately forgot that the trickle charger was attached. I heard a loud pop and the battery cracked and leaked out some acid. It appears that the clips touched where they should not have. After getting that cleaned up and replaced I noticed that the wiper speed dial on dash, the cigarette lighter, one of the master lock buttons on dash (only on right of radio left of radio working), the blower fan are not working. The radio works, The climate control visual works and the fan speed moves in increments but not blowing. It appears as if i have blown a few things. Car starts and runs fine. What i need to know id where to look and what to look for. I know where the fuse box is inside in the foot well and will check that but what else can i check for ? Relays etc.? Any help appreciated. Thanks

POST 2Original post

Obviously start with the fuse box. You may have to pull every fuse to check if they are blown. There is a main relay panel up under the drivers side footwell known as Relay Support 1. There is another relay panel under the carpet on the parcel shelf behind the drivers side seat known as Relay Support 2. There is also the Power Distribution Box located on the firewall in the passengers footwell that has 80 amp fusible links inside.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Can you provide some more info on the power distribution box> that may be the issue. I am thinking fuseable links. hard to get at? what to look for? I have checked all the fuses already. Thanks
