HELP electrical woews

[footin616]

I can drive my car but I have no electrical inside of the cabin. I have a S13 with a black top. None of my gauges, interior lights, radio, seatbelts, etc have power.

Headlights turn on but do not flip up, if that helps at all.

It used to always do this but the power would come on to the gauges, etc after I tapped the throttle a little. This does not work anymore. Is there a wire that bring all of the power into the cabin of the car that I can check. All fuses are fine both in the kick panel and in the engine bay.

It seems to be some kind of a power problem becuase my test light is not lighting up when I poke around in the fuse block.

You gotta be a bit more specific. Did you do the swap yourself? did you properly solder the harness wires to the dash? Did the cabin power ever work at all, did you buy it like that?

Yes I did the swap myself. The cabin power did work only after I rev'd up the engine for a second then it would stay on. Everything on the other side of the fire wall works perfectly it is only the power to inside of the cabin that is messed up.

I would say double check your wiring connections to the dash. That's weird that it works after revving some, unless there is a loose connection that connects with the vibrations.

double check all of your grounds. Also, make sure that the two plugs that plug into your positive battery terminal are corrosion free.

Got it all solved now.

My first problem was that the harness connection below the fuse block that connects the alternator to the battery was corroded out. I removed the two harness ends and replaced them.

Next it was my 75A fuse, it had blown in a funny spot. You could not see that it was blown in the plastic top. Found this out when testing for power to fuse block. The 75A made a jingling noise, so I knew it was blown.

Thank you to all that helped
