1990 Imperial Electrical Issue



The switch is easy to remove.  You need a "tamper proof" torx screw driver
(of which I was fortuntate to have).

I looked up those ccts that are inop and here they are...

3 - 10A - Left Low Beam
4 - 10A - Right Low Beam
5 - 4A - Illumination lps for: Cluster, Rear Def Sw, Radio, Headlamp sw, A/C
& ATC Control, PRNDL, Ash Reveiver, Incandescent Message Center & Traveler
9 - 10A - Cornering lmps, Auto Day/Nite Mirror, ATC Control, Rear Window Def
Sw
10 - 30A - Blower Motor
11 - 10A - Backup-lmps, Rad fan relay
17 - 10A - Heated Mirrors
18 - 20A - Windshield Wipers


Looking at this list, there is something wrong with my test.  I know things
like the wipers and cluster lamps work.  Maybe there is no power to those
ccts until the switch is closed.
