hi guys im new in this forum . i have a 1993 mazda 323 hatchback SE . i had this big problems these last months ..My rear wiper is always working even when i put the switch at Off , i lost my radio , i lost my little clock in the dash,the lights on my winger , and the main interior light ....but the wicked part is this .....its kinda funny too ..when i push the brakes ....my rear wiper stops and my little clock works also my main interior light ...but my radio is still not working when i push brakes . all the rest works fine . maybe someone can tell me with a wiring diagram where to look for this problem or help me the best he can ....btw the fuses are all ok

 

Do you have a stock radio? I have heard of this being the case sometimes when new radios are put in...

But do you have anything not stock or something that was replaced or any thing like that?

I'll ask around, Bkey71 or babyhuey might have better luck on this one...


I also own a 323 but mine is a 92 so I don't have a rear wiper...

 

yea my radio is stock and i havent changed nothing on the car the connects to wires

 

if someone could tell me where i can find the wiring diagram for my car i would really appreciate

 

I have a Mitchell On Demand CD ROM that has the wiring diagrams that I purchased about 6 months ago. The only problem is there is no way to share the dang thing. I was looking at the systems you were talking about and they all have the ROOM and RADIO fuse in common. Sounds like you may have a blown fuse and the voltage is back feeding through the brake light switch to these circuits when you hit the brake pedal. It also may sound silly, but check all the bulbs to make sure they are all working properly and look the same on both sides. I have seen bad bulbs cause weird problems before.

 

ok bkei71 ill recheck for a blown fuse in the room or radio area ... and i wanted to know where are the bulbs ur talking about .may sound silly but dont know wich ones ur talking about

 

Thats ok...i meant to say all your exterior bulbs. You need to use a test light to probe the ends of the fuse to make sure there is power TO the fuse. On either side of the numbers (ex. 15) on each fuse there are exposed metal areas meant for use with a test light.

 

k Bkey i checked the room fuse . And that was it ! ur a genuis man i dunno why my mecanic missed that fuse he told me all my fuses was ok ....this is not trustworthy of him ...:| he cant even find a dead fuse lol .....thx again Bkey i dunno how much it would have cost me without u .

 

You're welcome! Good thing you got it fixed, it is usually something simple.
