I'm thinking about "replaceable" parts on the c.c. and the only one I can think of is the fan switch. Hmmm, I wonder if it is fubar'd.
I've had the fan switch troubles before. Where it would only work on the highest settings. Replaced the "relay" on the blower and it fixed that problem. I can still turn the blower on and 1 2 3 4 all work, but I just cant change the direction of air flow or change from recirc to fresh or turn the a/c on...

What would the voltage be? And i know I would check it off the spade connector but where on the ecu is it connected if even connected there? Battery is connected, i'm getting power to my dash once i turn the key in the ignition. Anyone know where the signal wire ends on the starter? Maybe i gotta tear down the harness and find out

^^ Do you hear a click and do lights dim slightly when you try to start? If so, check your grounds and the terminal clamps on your batt.

Yes, but the seat belts in the '88-'89 are mounted on the B-pillars instead of the doors so you'd have to deal with changing that. (Someone correct me if I am wrong.)

Are you looking for local doors or possibly shipped?

Are you looking for aftermarket? If so, Adam (Weaksauce) either has, or can possibly get, what you want. If I email him he usually hooks up the EF homies.

actually, they are obx. i know i know, obx=garbage, but they are surprisingly well built. the hardware is garbage and it needs a small bead of hondabond between the runners, but other than that, they look really well built.
