Need Help Starting Car
#1
Guys, I need help bad: My FD has been down for 8 months now. Due to financial situations I had to replace my entire main harness myself. What happened is that a few moths ago I hit a pothole and tire rubbed on the wiring harness, eating through 4 wires all the way around the front of the car, to the fusebox and relays. I didnt drive my car when it happened but I turned it on once and had unsteady idle and brakes would come and go. After installing the new harness, the car doesnt crank at all. Everything works, wipers, lights, dash. I have checked over and over again and all connectors are where they are supposed to be and none are extra ( except for the cruise control which i dont have because its an R1 ). I have also checked all the fuses. When I turn the key all lights go on and stay on, the Check Engine light, ABS light, the add coolant light and etc...
Can anyone give me any type of guidance?
Thanks
Vic

Yeah, no cash right now.
I bought the harness from someone who bought another FD for parts. A good freind of mine has bought over 3k in parts off the guy and had no problems, he seems serious.
Ive done most of the hard work and Im trying to avoid taking it to a shop again due to financial reasons. It might be something simple but I just dont know.
Thanks for response Vosko.
Im definately not getting rid of the car, love it too much, from the time I first bought my 83 RX-7.

Have you tried a 12V test lead onto the starter solenoid to make sure it's not seized up? 8 months of sitting can cause them to seize up.
If not, have you checked all the plugs to the gearbox in your harness? Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a start inhibit if the gearbox is in gear?
Good luck!
