Ripped the dash out to replace the heater core and now my gauges won't work and I can't crank it over. 84 NA analog. Battery is fully charged and the annoying dinging noise works. Anyone have access to a complete wiring diagram for the dash? Some unhooked connectors but all the main ones are plugged in correctly. Have to work tomorrow night so time isn't a luxury. Thanks

Nevermind.. Figured the ignition issue out. However, still have some connectors unhooked and would love a wiring diagram if available. Thanks

Also, now one headlight won't turn on when on low beam (but will on high, and my fog lights won't come on.

headlight switch, kinda a common issue, check the connector, if that doesn't work take it apart and clean the contacts.

Thanks. Figured that out. Also had issues with my OP gauge reading excess of 90 psi. After a couple days and a reset if the computer, it went to normal. The lights for the OP and Voltage don't light up anymore. First OP went and then Voltage. Wired in a couple LED's to work instead. Running good and I got heat. Also figured out why the PO messed so much up from stock. Blower motor was wired together to only work on high and the vacuum actuators (for face, feet, defrost) were ziptied to be on constant defrost. Basically, the vacuum system and climate control didn't work so they made it work. Which saved me time and headache. I've got heat in Montana during the winter. I feel like a king. Haha.

I can say that with some good Cooper snow tires with studs, I make it around pretty damn good on solid ice (and even our iced over dirt road which is far from smooth). Before I got studs put in, I spun out on my dirt road ( and went into the ditch). Managed to get out of 10" of snow covering the rear end. Only weight in the hatch is my 15" Boston Acoustic sub and amp (probably 35lbs). Surprisingly winter friendly.
