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?

Daves wife wears a harness?
Jerry, post a pic in the other thread.....your thread For the electrics, 1) get a volt meter Check for 12vdc on the small yellow wire at the starter motor when key is in start position. If yes, test starter If no, wire may be spliced under passenger seat, check that splice Could also be the ignition switch 2) headlights going up and down Remove and replace headlight motor relays For the rest of the wired ness, remove and clean every fuse and the tabs on the fuse box |

Gilliam,
Please post what you find. I am having the same issues (no wipers, no start, no brake lights, while headlights work). Br, Hans Jan |
