Hey, I recently acquired an 85 rx7. The only problem I've found is that is has a short somewhere between the alternater and wherever that wire goes, I assume the battery. But, in trying to follow the wire, the lasy owner had jury rigged so much of the wiring I find it nay impossible to follow it. I was just wondering if anyone has any helpful hints where to find the wiring schematics for said problem, since I have run into none on the net. I'd greatly appreciate the help.

 

You can hook it up right to the battery, but then you also need to not forget to hook up power from the battery to the "head main retractor". Its that weird looking brown thing with the jumpers on it connected to the strut tower on drivers side.

Here is a good link for a lot of stuff.
