96 EK to-do list (need a little help)
First off, I consider myself a fairly competent person when it comes to internet research, and although I haven't dedicated as much time to the issue at hand as I'd like, I figured I'd ask the ones with more knowledge in this field than myself.
1)
The clifnotes version: Where can I buy a floor harness (online vendor/board member preferred) or other parts needed to solve problem outlined below.
96DX with power doors - not just the internals, but the entire door itself.
The car, has no harness leading from the doors to the fuse box.
Short of running power directly to the switch, which for some reason doesn't work for very long (maybe I should test polarity in the switch itself?), I live in triple digit heat, with no way of rolling the windows down, but AC works decently but hate the depravation the motor gets from that damn compressor kicking on and off during rush hour - I guess I shouldn't have bought a 1.6L.
2)
Also, I've got the push start from an s2k which I'm putting where the power window switch block off plate is and am looking for the harness I can adapt into the ignition harness. I'm trying to avoid doing a non-factory style hack job - something as close to plug'n'play as possible.
3)
Relocated the battery to the trunk. The wiring is fine (2gauge, a secured 10" ground, copper ring terminals, gold plated brass side post terminals, optima red top - no garbage) and everything is perfect except for some reason the car completely dies at random when I come to a stop (or clutch is pushed in). This mainly happens in the mornings on the way to work, or after a multi-hour drive. I have yet to test the voltage of the battery at a stand still compared to when the car is running, compared to when things like my ac, stereo, blinkers, lights, etc are drawing power.
My unconfirmed, untested, 2cents are that my alternator is not supplying the battery with enough power to burn early on after a start, not enough to last a long trip, but only enough to run around in town for a little while. A bigger alternator???
Any help is appreciated....this is just the final few electrical issues that the previous owner left me when I bought this 4 months ago.
