I have a 2007, both of my front speakers haven’t worked since I got it. A few days ago the left one came back to life for a bit and then suddenly stopped working again, would that be the wiring or the speaker itself?

Continuity test through a relay is not a good test man…. Its not a loaded circuit. Electrical components can have good continuity and resistance and fail under load. If you wanted to bench test it, why didnt you power and ground the coil and add a power to load side and see if the other side of the load produces power when you complete the circuit through the coil? Now, sure it could be intermittent, so perhaps monitor the relay with volt meter or scope to see if it drops out when driving?

However, you may have a hard time finding the exact fuse box you need unless you order from GM, but that will be expensive.

@maryjaneevadiamond6359 Жыл бұрын
Tech here. I wanted to share my concerns about several issues regarding this subject in general. Clearly it's an engineering flaw. I don't want to say it was an intentional flaw, but I think through long learned patterns Ive seen, there is some short sighted understanding in the design field, and I wanted to share exactly what that is. I'm currently having the exact same issue with my G6 but it's the radiator cooling fan relay socket pins. The coolant fans have three modes (and three relays), and in the same manner of this video demonstration here, they will intermittently cut in and out using physical force, when the ECM is trying to energize the relays. Of course in my case, the engine temp rises and the car starts to overheat, the engine knocks and performance lags as a result. You don't want the engine heating above 200 degrees. Online information says that the car should technically run better, but I'm understanding from the view that we want to ATOMIZE, or MIST the gas into the engine, and not vaporize the gas prior to the intended ignition timing. These weakened pins are the result, or combination of two different things taking place. The first is that anytime there is an electric motor, the instant that relay clicks on, there is a mass surge on that circuit, which is going to stress the wire, fuse, any contacts, pins, and relays. In AC circuits, in design, we place a loading capacitor as close as we can to the motor to SMOOTH out this issue. In home dishwashers that cycle the motor off and on a dozen times per wash, the capacitor will PHYSICALLY move on the board during the initial surges, eventually BREAKING it's connections on the circuit board. Capacitors possibly could have been included on car fuse boxes to help this issue. Another factor that needs to be addressed is how electric motors can start to draw more than there rated amperage as they age. (stressing those circuits even MORE) You can actually find info online about this as well. They don't make this fuse rack in a way so that the top of the pin slots could easily be accessed with a micro screwdriver to bend the pins back, and that's a pain as well. You might wonder why the fuse doesn't pop if the amperage is being exceeded, and the issue here is that it's a momentary surge which those fuses are specifically chosen to IGNORE and from what limited info I can find about the ratings (at least in my coolant fans case) it almost looks like the fuse is way to high for the circuit, possibly because they just wanted a FIRE fuse, not a component stress or aging fuse. So in my case, I will be swapping out the coolant fan with a new one, in addition to either bending the pins back or replacing the fuse box, if I can get a used one locally. I wanted to thank the OP for sharing all this work, to the degree that the box CAN be broken down, to be accessed and serviced, which obviously is a lot better than the dealer cost, and I will be using his knowledge to service mine as well. Hopefully my info helps several people, and just maybe, maybe, might make some changes in the manufacturing data base.
@LoFiMofo Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the reply. I agree, these fuses aren’t really designed for current inrush like in normal ac circuits for motors or compressors where we use time delay fuses to compensate for the 125% inrush, so these automobile fuses are more than likely oversized. Hope you have good luck fixing your issue. My G6 is still going strong, haven’t had another issue with this fuse box since i made this video.
