I tested the battery tonight and its putting out a charge. The ABM from what I can tell, has a new engine harness, MSD, JWest fuse panel, a blasted interior, H4s with relays, and a newerish stock board.
With nothing "on", hooking up the battery seems to "arc" the front headlight motors, or something up front. Transmission ground is on, battery (-) is ground, front turn signal grounds are attached. Nothing at the ignition, although with light switch "on" no "arc" but no light. Ignition switch seems loose. Wiper handle is very loose. I bought a color diagram, but I'm color blind. Is there a method to trace electricity step by step from the battery out through the harness, into the dash, and out to the lights? I need to get this ABM on the road! |

Verifying the entire systems can take several days/weekends. It's most challenging with color blindness. Sounds like you need a build party! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
Or, I can wait until you are totally frustrated and buy the car off you super cheap... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) |
