car has no power? wont start
ok so I just picked up a 89 covertable. The car has a good bat- and all good fuse's. But the car wont start. Head lights work as well as the dome light. No dash lights or anything else. You guys got any ideas? It also has a alpine alarm and it dont even work.

Well if all the fuses are good and you actually tested them all, im sorry to say but your fucked. This is an electrical nightmare that no one is going to want to fix.

If all your fuses are good under the hood, check them on the inside (Especially the meter and engine fuse). If that doesn't get it, try pulling off the cover around the steering column and check the back side of the key cylinder to see if the screw backed out (Alot of key cylinders have that screw back out which causes everything to get fucked up). If thats ok, and the key is getting power (you can check it there), try to swap the CPU on the drivers kick panel with a known good one. Its weird how many circuts run through the CPU that can **** up your world. If that doesn't get it.................BlackPlague is right, you're kinda fucked.
