This car has me at witts end (obviously not diff),
But I just cant put up the white flag. I have everything aprt. Fine from switch to motor, problem in red wire (hot) i think. Anyone know if earth sticks with green color as usual.. Does fuse box has basic test that can be ran, or is it possible to run power back to specific fuse location in panel to test for break in line to switch (spare battery pull fuse)??????.

Hello,
Well I figured it out to be the switche(s). Yes, both!!! They both have shorts in them. Wires unpluged running jumpers to bypass switches run fine. Plug wires back in, and yes, blowed fuses one at a time. Just wanted to say that I didnt know before, That it was possible for switches to short out circuits but just stop working. Thanks to all of you for feed back and problem solving mind set. It helps when things get complicated.

Its more normal to be open circuit when the contacts have arced away, and I think that will be the case.

these switches are double pole in order to reverse the flow to the motors, often a good clean will make them work again
