HELP! First gen 12a rx7 issue
Hello
On my Rx7 nothing works except the headlights, but there is a delay when the pop ups want to close.
earlier this year the headlights where able to work and open and close without an hitch. the interior dash, and tail lights don't work, also the car wont turn over. I've checked the fuses as their all fine except for a some white power that I've cleaned up.
I've tried recharging the battery but it still wont work
Also what battery fits the rx7, my current one isn't able to be secured by the battery holder due to its size
Car is a 1985 rx7 Fb GS California model

Does the car start and run? Use a test light and check 3 fuselinks on driver side strut tower. check both sides while you manipulate the fuselinks with your fingers. Some times they can be damaged but hold together. If they all test good,go to underhood fusebox and use testlight to check ALL fuses with lights and key on. Probe both sides of fuses.
Go back to battery area where ignition coils are and touch test light to ignition coil(s) primary positive wire-with key on. It is black/yellow,do you have power at both coils at this wire?
Are your battery cables sound,terminals where cables attach to battery clean and tight? Is positive battery cable tight at starter,is ground cable attached to fender apron(follow cable) and to starter mounting bolt?
Post results to the above for further direction.

Ok, after replacing the fuses with newer fuses and cleaning the fuse box, and terminals for the fusible links it now has power.
except for the hazard turn signals
