My engine harness got re-ripped, and one of them leads to the coil. I tried reconecting all the wires, but I dont get a crank. My headlights work, the door ajar jingle works, BUT my tail lights wont go off until I disc. the battery. I dont know what other combo to try, as I reconected all the wires based on color matching.

Any ideas?

what happened? did it get cut off? How did you reconnect them? Solder, crimp, electrical tape?

The wires hit my radiator fan, and apparently the previous owner or someone had already reconnected them with electrical tape (twisted them together and put tape around them). I put them together by twisting them, temprarily to see if they were at least the right wires put together. No tape yet, but none of the exposed wiring is touching.

Which Im glad I did test them first.

Bear with me, as Im not electronically inclined...but I think they only go to the maf and coil (all the wires that go there).
