chlatboy · 08-19-2005, 02:34 AM

check wiring harness? Maybe something didnt ground or wires are rubbing.

*Kouki_Monster* · 08-19-2005, 07:49 AM

How low are you? Might be your wiring harness rubbing on your tire; drivers side.

If you have not relocated it.

Alright Guys, I may have the answer for you. I had the same problem when I bought my car from the junkyard. I just got all my accesaries to work last night. I still can't get the fuel pump to work.
There is a rectangular white box by the fuse box relay in the cabin on the driver side. If you look right above the fuse box by the dead pedal, you will see it. It has a 10mm bolt that holds it together and bolts it onto the car. If this bolt is loose, it will not give you power to the accessories. Once I tighten the bolt all the way in, I got all my accesories to work (a/c, turn signal, meters, evrything that wasn't working before.) I tested my result by using a meter light. The whole left side of the fuse box by the dead pedal wouldn't light up when I used the meter light. Once the box was screwed in, I got the whole left side of the fuse box to light up. Brake lights and everything works now. I hope this helps you out.

I will check up on that one.
I also thinking its my light switch.
It might be faulty.

Yeah, thats the SMJ or "Super Mega Junction". It really enjoys being connected.

Good thinking, jump the wires on the connector for the switch to over-ride it for the test.
