i got a 88 gxl with a t2 swap with a couple mods had it for a month now from a previous owner. well every time i start the car and its on the radio and clock turns off. when i leave the key on acc mode, the radio and clock work fine. sometimes when i turn the car on the radio and clock works. also when i put the hazards on, all the lights on the car blink.(lights on the a/c unit, headlights...) so i searched the forums for a bit to see if i found anything and i came across the the super grounding thread. so i did as stated and now when i turn on the hazards on, the other lights don't blink. so that's 1 prob fixed! but i still have the prob with the radio and clock not turning on. i check everything possible! the fuse box and the cpu. all the fuses on the fuse box are fine. when i move the cpu around the lil beeping noise that indicates the door is open fades out on and off. some of the wires were cut so i put them back and blk. taped them to how the were suppose to. the little beeping noise still comes on and off. i was thinking it i have to replace the cpu. its a little loose when i move it around. is it suppose to be like that? i see only 1 screw on the top holding it, tried to see if there's another screw to hold it but couldn't. i think imma have to replace it? any ideas? oo and i also need to change the ignition switch. i dunno if that has to do anything with the problem im having.. i hate when people mess the original rx7 wiring, gives the next owner hell to try and fix it

 

i was trying to understand the wiring diagram on the fsm but i have no clue. any1 had this same problem?

 

found the prob and got it fixed!

 

It would help if you could tell us all what the fix was, in case someone else has this problem!

 

well i checked all possible grounds. and i changed em because some of the wires were really correded. then i found out that the alt. wire was just hanging by 1 lil copper wire. so i just cut it out then fixed it back up. now runes good with no hesitation.
