I bought a craigslist teener sight unseen..yeah I am not sure if it was the best idea.
It was cheap and not bad overall condition .
Once getting into it. It has electrical issues.
Key doesn't engage the starter but it activates everything else
I turn on the lights they flip up and down and wont stop.
The turning signals will not work
As the brakes lights too.
No wipers either.

Where do I start?

But it has no rust hahahhaa

Look at the yellow wire to the starter. Does it get power when you turn the key to "start"? How about the connections at the relay board? How about the wife in the main wiring harness?

If the wife is in the harness, that could be the source of your problems. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)
Sorry, couldn't resist.
