Let me say first that i'm terrible with wiring..

on that note, i bought stock wiring harness's to replace a custom wiring harness my friend made,so i dont have the originals.. the engine harness and transmission harness are manual and the body harness's are from an auto hatch.. (i didnt know thats what he was sending, but i spent a good chunk of change thinking i was getting what i asked for)

i finished plugging it in last night, turned the key and some of my gauge cluster lit up(turn lights, battery light, clock light), then i figured out the rest of it lit up after i turned the knob for the wiper speed adjustment.. so something is wrong.. my headlights are working fine but the motors dont respond to the button, neither are the hazards.. this cant be normal even if its a zenki harness in a chuck right?? (not saying it is a zenki harness, i dont know)

i dont have the fuse box jumpered yet so it obviously doesnt start yet.. i have to figure out how to convert the hatch tail plugs to coupe tail plugs, but i cant seem to find a write up..

im doin the same thing.
wiring on the coupe was F***ed up
so i got a cheap hatch for parts
but swapping the harness now
just figured i have to cut and splice for the rear theres no too much back there

for you though i would try to find coupe taillights plugs and then match the wires using the fsm

also double check that no wires are pinched cuasing a ground behind the dash

good luck
