Electrical gremlins and other fun problems with my B16A swap
The car is a 1990 Honda CRX Si with a Gen 1 B16A1 and PW0 ECU.
Well driving home today I found my fan doesn't work (not sure if it just stopped or never worked since the swap). In any event I need to know how to test and check the fan.
A problem I have that it might be related to is the heater eletrical system. When I turn the car off the little lite above the "Inside Air" or "Outside Air" stays on. So does the light above the defrost, upper, lower, etc buttons. This I know was not the case before the swap. So something got screwed up in the conversion to B16A.
The last one is the most irritating. If the car is running and I unbuckle my seatbelt and get out the damn seatbelt beep goes off. And it won't ever stop. No matter if I close the door, re-engage the seatbelt buckle, etc. I have to turn the car off and back on again.
Anyways, hoping someone can help point me in the right direction for these. "CHECK ALL THE WIRING" AND **** LIKE THAT DO NOT HELP!!!

Re: Electrical gremlins and other fun problems with my B16A swap (FairlightRacing)
Thought I might add that my battery light comes on just before I start the car. Once the car is running it is off and stays off. Hopefully there is someone out their that actually knows **** about CRXs, not just that ANR headers are l33t, that can help me on this one.
