Im quite puzzled, in my 89 240sx, the ignition wire (blue) works correctly, But the wire thats supposed to have power constantly has nothing, no matter where the key is turned. Any suggestions? Ive checked the kick panel fuses and they are fine.

I'm assuming that you have checked the basics, like the battery is connected and has voltage. There are a series of heavy gauge wires that go from the battery across the front of the car and then back along the frame rail into the cabin. If your car has been in an accident or is lowered then there is a possibility that there is a bad wire along there. There are also a bunch of connections tucked in the kick panel that might have come loose. Take a look at the FSM in the electrical section and it will show you the wire and all the connections that it goes through from the battery to the ignition switch.
