No accesories w/o engine running

[johnnyknoxvillej]

None of my accesories work w/o the car running, including clock stereo taillights cigarette lighter dash lights a/c heat. Nothing but the headlights. I just replaced batt and alt sanded down grounds and looked for frayed wires from my silvia conversion found nothing, also the accesory relay seems fine, all accesories work when engine is running untill i turn sompthing on then it flickers off then on.THX,MATT1989 240sx hatch

What did you mean by that last... um... sentence.

Pull out a multimeter and check the voltage difference between the battery negative terminal and various grounds. Cleaning them was a good first step, but I'd test them now to see what's really going on.

it means whenever i use any power sorce it turns off the radio all the lights in the car flicker, all the grounds seem alright as well

you have a poor connection somewhere. Or possibly something wired incorrectly in your conversion.

i only used 2 wires from each headlight moter harness

[johnnyknoxvillej]

checked harness looked ok, is the second wire coming off the positive side of the batt. the constant 12 for acc.? THe first one looks like its for the headlights

[johnnyknoxvillej]

the other wires for the starter hmmmmmmm

I am not familier with the silvia conversion, have you tried also posting in 240 technical to see if anyone there can give you a quicker answer.
