Electrical issue S14

Hey guys im having some issues with my car

Ive searched found a couple answers that didn't work

So pretty much im not getting any power to my cluster, windows, taillights or turn signals. The motor itself starts up fine and drives.

Ive checked the TCU, fuses (75A and 100A), checked for bad wires/ground but nothing.

I was told to check the wires on the positive terminal going to the alternator, Ill be doing that tomorrow, but if there is anything else I should check for let me know.

Ok so I said fuck it and decided to fuck with the positive terminal and everything started working.

If anyone is having this same issue

Check the connection from the positive terminal going to the the alternator

I have had similar issues and corrosion on the positive battery terminal was part of the problem. If you're using the OEM cable and stuff, I would suggest cleaning the terminals as best you can.

Here's what mine looked like:





After 20 minutes or so with some sandpaper:

Check your fuses?

Check your fuses and all that jazz.

From there, check the fender harness wiring for any damaged wires.

Kind of weird, because two of those circuits pulls power directly from the +12V Ignition Wiring (Hazards/Cluster Lighting), so there's not THAT much that can go wrong unless something in your dash is derpin.
