It is the old swerving to avoid smashing a cat story. A good day for Mr. Cat, not so much for the front right corner of my '98 v70. I hit one of those peculiar vintage concrete sign structures found on secondary rural roads. That corner was damaged and will require changing out the fender and hood as well as the bumper cover and projector headlamp/parking assembly.
The car runs and drives as it should until all of the repairs are made with the exception of the mysterious blowing of the (#34) horn/wiper fuse (25a). I removed the damaged headlight wiper/washer assembly and made sure all of its wiring was free. I think there is actually a two pole connector in there somewhere. At any rate, the #34 fuse is still blowing. . At this point, not immediately. I have not checked the horn lead since it is more mid line. If anyone knows what may be causing the fuse issue, I would appreciate a heads up. Spring is a lousy time to drive in the Midwest with iffy wipers!
Also, if anyone is aware of a vendor that supplies individual ABM lamp fixtures/assemblies, it would be helpful as well. Otherwise I will have to get a full set and sell one on! Sort of pricey.
I hope that cat lives a long and useful life. . .
