Hello Everyone,
I hope everyone is keeping safe and getting ready to hit the car shows soon as I am.
My local mechanic and I have been working for days on an electrical issue on our 86 GN project car.
Issue is this:
Pink and Purple wire show they are grounded but we feel from all we can research they should NOT be. Fuse is NOT being blown. Headlight switch and instrument panel dimmer switch are controlling things like the marker lights, tail lights, tach/boost on instrument cluster, the usual start up lights come on we toggle these switches and if we roll the dimmer switch up and down. We have pulled them and bypassed them and we will have the issue. Where in the world are we going wrong ? Please help as we are desperate. We have pulled ignition switch and pulled fuse box twice in looking for this. We have pulled wiper motor looking behind this area. We have been in the trunk. We have cleaned up all grounds we can find under the hood, inside the car and in the trunk. We have printed diagrams from onefootinthegrave site and anywhere else we can find info on the 86 GN. We have checked the option codes in the trunk and it does not show theft option which we eliminated.
We would sure appreciate another angle.
Thank you for your time. Once we get to the bottom of this we will repost for others to hopefully save a lot of time if this ever comes up.
