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! |

The two wires in your hand are for the cigarette lighter.
Can't do much with the blurry pics. If you're using a cell phone, get a camera. If you're using a camera, set it to Macro mode. Or take the pictures from farther back. Good light on the subject can reduce blur as well so get out the shoplights. |

I got deeper in and saw the bigger starter wire in there (yellow) and the larger live wire (orange?). The PO deleted the cigarette lighter and the fasten seat belt light. Wires are still there though. |
