I've asked this before and got no replies, so this is last time I'm going to ask before ripping into my wiring harness.

My car sat for about 2 months while the engine was being built. Come time to start it again, no lights except headlights work. No blinkers, no hazards, no running lights, not brake lights, no interior lights, no dash lights, no headlight motors, no windshield wipers...nothing. Relays don't click. The gauges don't even move.

Radio and dash clock DO work.

What could it be? Where does the chassis harness get power from? The plugs near the ECU right? I plugged 2 plugs together, are there more or am I missing one? Could moisture have gotten in through my open shifter hole and shorted everything out? I will see the car again this weekend, and I'd like to actually be able to drive it.

Could I have blown EVERY fuse? Wouldn't the relay's still click? I'm really stumped here.

Thanks.

Bump...does anyone have any ideas?

Who has swapped a chassis harness? I'm looking at the electrical part of the FSM but it's hard to read it without being able to look at my car at the same time.

Whoever has swapped a chassis harness chime in and tell where all the power connections are!

Only bumping because I figured it out, maybe if a noob searches they will see what it is before asking.

It was the 75 Amp Fuse in the engine bay. I'm retarded for not looking more closely at it.

The 75A fuse is available only at the dealership or courtesy parts, but Autozone has an 80 amp that you can run. Make sure you fix why the fuse was blowing before replacing with the 80 amp one. After replacement enjoy having electricity!
