Hi, I just registered and opted to give my instinctual behavior the benefit of the doubt w/ regard to being able to comply with posting guidelines w/o reading them. I hope I am not remiss!
I need help!!!! and I hate to have the people around here help me, "Don't learn on my stuff" has been a familiar phrase of mine since some person I trusted oh about 8yrs ago took the head off of my 78 280Z and then proceeded to behave in such a way as to leave me no choice but ask him to leave and never return, my poor Z has been in the garage since then. If only I knew the last time I drove it would be the last time I drove it, but I digress.
The trouble I am having is with my 1993 240SX, it's a convertible, but I don't think that's relevant in this instance.
I'm a single mom and was blessed enough that someone who knew the saga of my prescious Z actually gave me this 240SX when he finally bought his dream car 3000GT, too much blah blah blah, huh? sorry......
Alright, the reason I have registered and am now posting is that "I wonder does this site or some one on it perhaps have technical schematics for my car that I could download and print?
The car came with an aftermarket alarm, shortly after getting it the chaos mongers around here had cut the wire to the siren and since that incident the whole , for lack of a better word, gob of wires, both original and those added for the alarm have been pulled out from below the dash .
Then 2 days ago the present problem began and since then those wires have been messed with in numerous, decidedly failed efforts to get the car to start.
I don't know why it won't start,seems that the ignition is simply not in the loop, there are clicks and blings and so on and so forth, like a short or???...my first inclination was to suspect a low battery(bought a brand new one, no dice) or defective remote alarm controller(sent it off to home depot for abattery replacement where it was lost...)
.., in any event, my ingition seems to be disabled and nothing that has been tried to date to get it enabled again has worked, to boot,as I mentioned, the alarm remote has been lost or misplaced by these helpers from hell. I have another one on order, but it wasn't helping before it was lost and I don't know that there was anything wrong with it.
I'd like to have a diagram of what things are supposed to look like so I can just go to my car where it is stranded and start at the battery and work back or vica versa....or whatever seems most practical.
I am very afraid that so many things that had nothing to do with the problem have been tampered with, that the little voice in my head is practically hysterical, and writing to your forum here is one of the only seeminlgy prudent things I can think to do.
I wish I knew how to remove the alarm, but what if I did and was lucky enough to get all the original connections re-attached, and then the ignition was still disabled?!
I don't know anything about my car, but I am am intelligent and I learn quickly. It is to my discredit that I've given cursory respect to people around here who have no respect for anything it seems, I know it would make me all the more reliant on them if I had no transportation, but I don't want that to happen, it won't happen!!
I'll move on to desperation mode if this doesn't avail me some direction w/o maliscious intent.
Sorry the post is so long, I hope it isn't one of the guidelines that it be concise or I get flamed or shined.......I wish there was live chat here so I could pick someone's brain, of course with their permission......aaaack, sorry for being so needy at the moment, usually I'm a real easy going person.
Any and all constructive input will be greatly appreciated........Felonicity
