I never said anything about loading up.  I was going to deliver.  Besides, I don't want Don. :D

All in jest, Don.  If you weren't a friend, I couldn't have said that.  Same way we razzed Tim.

Booby-traps removed (for now), can't wait to see what you deliver - I can provide a wish list ;D

You can't fix stupid but, you can adjust it with a 2x4.

Thanks, but been there, done that, found additional help here:

http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum2/HTML/119883.html

Turns out, Shanine's wiring is totally messed up. I identified at least two bad wires and I'm going with a complete harness swap. It would take me forever to find all the bad wires/splices in this mess, as Charlie can attest to.

Yipes... I KNOW about previous owners & the bad splices!  Too many to solder I guess.  It worked for my hacked up harness... Again, wish you were closer!

Offer still stands about German cake and coffee. You just come over and park yours next to Shaninen's for about two hours and when it's time to leave, miraculously, Shanine's will work and yours won't ;D

Kidding asside, her complete harness just came in the mail today. It even included the two-speed fan relay, isolater relay and headlight relays.

Look for bad ground. When I replaced my ground straps, the windows gained tremendous momentum and all my lights got brighter, to include the ones in the dash

OK,
I replaced the entire front harness with a known good one for the 84 that wasn't hacked up, but now ......
No ignition lights, no running lights, no cranking, nothing.
Did I foul something up ???
Somethig specific I should check? All fuses and relais are good. Known good motors.

Did you re-install the battery?


Sorry. I couldn't help myself.

Maybe you'd be better off letting Anne fix it.

Oops. I did it again.


I can come by tomorrow and assist troubleshooting if you'd like (for real). ;D
