Intermittent Simulation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Mercury Villager. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
To reproduce the conditions creating an intermittent fault, use the following methods:
- Lightly vibrate components.
- Heat component.
- Wiggle or bend wiring harness.
- Spray component with water.
- Remove/apply vacuum source.
Monitor circuit/component voltage or resistance while attempting to simulate intermittent. Use the results to identify a faulty component or circuit.
