Just pretty much finished up my black top install on my 89 240sx...one HUGE problem...the interior has NO power what so ever. Headlights dont work, nor the hazards. I checked the wiring over and over and cannot find a problem at all. I've been messing around all inside the car for a few hours now and still cannot find a dang thing wrong with the wiring. Can someone please help me out with this one?

make sure you have good ground connections. That seems to be everyones problem. The negative terminal from the battery has to ground onto both the engine and the chassis and all electronics and certain parts of the harness grounds onto the chassis also. CHeck them all. If your wiring is all correct then most likely you arent getting a good ground at all. Either that or your battery is dead.

Goodluck.

one thing I just noticed, don't know if it matters or not, there is a small white connector right above the ECU, the KA harness has a clip for it but the SR doesn't...I cannot find anywhere that says I need to wire in this connector, but do I?

the battery (Optima Yellow Top) is outputting power like normal. Grounds are fine, my gauges that are on a switch work, that is it. Nothing else works. I attempted to locate a fuse for the interior...hahaha I don't have any fuse box panels that have labels on them. I've checked all the interior fuses and they are fine...no idea now...
