Whats up guys, having a crazy elec. issue.First off the cars a 95 s14, exaust and intake. The car was driving fine, then started hesitating when I would gas it hard...but not bad(so I don't think it's related). I got to my buddies house, and hung out for a while(bout 3 hours). Came out to start it, and nothing......no power to the blower for the heater, no radio, headlights, or clock light. I have gauge lights, parking, brake and interior lights. I checked all fuses(kickpanel & under hood), I also have power to the starter, and its a good batt. I dont get a click to the starter or anything. I also installed an ignition kill switch recently, and had a 30 amp ignition fuse blow after a long drive. Is it possible a relay has gone bad, or my ecu? Im going to try and comp. start it soon. Thanks for reading and would like any help.

Not one reply??? Well an update....Changed all the relays, and swapped ecu's....still nothing. Someone please tell me if there is a fusible link in the battery lead, this is the only other thing i can think of...besides a loose, or burned thru wire. Anyone have any suggestions????

A little update for any one who cares.....Changed all relays, checked all fuses. Checked grounds. There is no power to the ignition switch, or ignition fuse. The alt fuseable link under the hood has power, but the ignition fuseable link doesnt. there is also power direct to the starter and alt. I changed the ignition switch, and turn sig switch, and the ecu........ .........someone please help me, I'm gonna sell it soon. Just a breakdown....I have parking lights,gauge lights,and when keys in it beeps....But no headlights, clock light, or any type of action fron the key turn.

Good frekin stuff!!! I found the problem< I traced the wire back to where the power cut off...And it was the plug on the positive term., it had burned thru and wasnt giving enough power. Happy days!!!
