damn, maybe thats what happened to my licence plate lights... I need to check it an be sure. That was the last thing I did to it for it started problems.

 

there is a plug back there just for the license plate lights only.

 

I know, this is what i was talking about.

 

i just baught a magnaflow 2.5id and 2.5od cat from summit, i think its was about $60. its universal

 

yes check the plugs man. i did that before. i had my license plat lights on the back bumper plugged in wrong. make sure red is plugged into red and black with black. when i did it the fuse would blow anytime i hit the lights. and it ultimately got me pulled over. at that time i got a ticket for having no license or insurance. that was 2002 lol!

 

ask him about production of one for the 88-89 front bumper.
If so I would be willing to lend him one of mine.

 

worked good huh?

 

Okay, I unpluged the licence plate light to make sure it wasn't the cause. All were pluged into the right color, red to red and black to black. I tested it again and it blew a fuse! One of the last things I did was plug in the side markers but I don't see how that would be a problem. I'll check thos again and see if i blow yet another fuse

 

I second Vega on the lip, I wants one!

Thirdly - anyone have those taillight harnesses lying around?

Fourthlyiely - When you guys are painting cars are you using enamel or lacquer (spray can) and did you use adhesion promoter prior to painting a bumper?

 

you are popping fuses because you have a wire that is grounding out on the chasis. did you solder your connections for the side markers?

 

Are you talking about the side markers on the fender near the molding? I didn't, someone else did. when I bought the car. I believe the only wires connected are the jdm side markers. all the rest of the head lights, bumper lights and corner are dissconnected. so when trouble shooting, do i just remove the bulb to see which one blows the fuse and thos are the wire(s) i need to fix?

 

I'm talking about whatever you were talking about. You have a power wire somewhere that is exposed and making contact with the chassis causing fuses to blow. If it wasn't doing it before, then it is most likely whatever you were messing with recently. You are putting the correct Amp rated fuse in the slot, right?

 

A/C update.

Got lines charged with r134a (it was converted before I owned it). Turned on a/c compressor never kicks on. I haven't diagnosed it (had to get to my desk job).

Sigh. I didn't muck with the wiring for the a/c Maybe a fuse is out (condensor would probably still come on even if its fuse was out?))

Do I have to have 2 fans plugged up for it to work?

 

oh okay, the lights on the side of the head light. Yes, i did, 10 amp. If i put something more wouldn't it blow out something?
