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! |

There are, sadly, some unfused circuits. Even on cars with unmodified wiring. I don't remember what they are offhand, but digging through the wiring diagrams will show them. Look for lines coming straight from the battery that don't go through any "Sx" (where x is a number) before getting to some component.

We should document that here for future reference. That is important to know. Thanks! |
