ok i've got a problem with the car i got. there seems to be NO power to any of the fuses in the interior fuse box. the only thing me and my dad could come up with is that where the wires come off the positive post...cause there are a few unlike my integra. the last 2 owners never cleaned up the battery area and the wires are kind of corroded. i even have to weld a new piece of sheet metal underneath of where teh battery was because of this problem. could this be my problem?

And the car is not starting though turning over with ease. i know i'm gettting fuel cause i was doin a compression test and it sure did smell like gas. lol. compressioin went like this...160/145/110/140.#1/#2....etc etc#3 is fcked but i'm not to worried as long as it gets me around for 6 months until i get my student loan is this ok compression for a stock Ka24e? with 117K.

also since i'm already making a big post.my speedo doen't work. needle is fallen past 100+ ya know. so i went to pick n pull and picked up a stock one...but how should he needle act? should it be stuck in one spot when it's not installeld cause this one could be broken. and i also got a jdm digital gauge cluster from another 240sx they had their but the plug behind the digital part is not plugged into anything....is the digital gauge cluster a plug n play matter?

thanks for any help you guys can give me...the 240sx is so differant than my integra that i know piece by piece...cause i've done 2 engine swaps in it and two trans swap in it also. later

hey another question bout my car not starting...here is a pic.is my ignition coil fusible link missing or is it not located inside the container like the cover says

[BodylinesDrftS13]

can someone just look to see if there is supposed to be a fusible link in that spot on the left top corner! please....

In my car, I remember there is a smaller looking connection. Not as big as the fuse next to it. It wasn't seated in there firmly either.. it can move around. This is from my 93 vert which was previously auto, by the way.

thanks. there is somesort of conenctor underneath this box but i'm not surewhat it is either....wishing i had a helms manual for this car

[BoyWonder]

The connection underneath the fuse box was to tell the car it's in neutral and allow it to start. Again, this was the case on the 93 Vert.Are you still looking for the connection that powers the internal fuses?

[BodylinesDrftS13]

yes i still am. i found that there are some other fuses behind the fuse panel in the interior compartment. right now i just havne't had time to do it when the sun is out, with senior year of HS and 40 hrs a week at the job right after school 6 days a week. thanks
