driving me nuts. help me with my FC's electrical problems
Okay, when I bought this car. I was so stupid.
Didn't check anything!
Front/rear Wiper
Emergency light
Mist
^ dosent work
And turn signal and my passenger side power window used to work. Not its fail.
I did search the forum over and over for different answered, tried most of the advise that I could perform myself.
1. Passenger window.( it goes down but not up)
Clean the switches, contacts and everything. Nothing.
Bought a used motor and regulator. Nothing
Bought new switches. Nothing.
Sigh...
2. Console switches.
Yesterday I bought a new surround with all new switches.
So i unscrewed everything and started messing with things.
And ended up making my gauge speedometer not function for soke reason. But
Wiper started to work.
But here's the thing.
When i bought my car, i took my car to The CarShop in alhambra and got clifford alarm system installedd.
And he seems to pinch asingle white wire to the wires that for a into the turn signal switch.
I don't know if that causes the problem.
OR
I looked under my steering wheel where all the wires are located. And I. Found out that bunch of the wires are connected to a Mitsubishi ecu looking piece.
I dont even know what I'm talking about.
Need your adivse.
Thank you guys

I don't know what you are talking about either...
I know the fuel pump relay is under the steering wheel......
Sounds like you bought a car with ghetto rigged wiring.
I know all about that though, because I've re-done most of my wiring....
Pictures of these wires you are talking about would help.

How 'bout...........the speedometer does not work now because the large black cable that drives the speedometer has become disconnected at the back of the combination meter??? Sounds likely to be. So reconnect the large black cable to the speedometer.
Wipers now work 'cause the wiper relay(s) in the old wiper switch were bad.
The MItsubishi device under the dash might just be the power steering box????
*****pinch asingle white wire to the wires that for a into the turn signal switch*******
I'm at a loss for what the above means. Pinch used to mean "steal" where I come from. OR in the old movies a Cop would make a "pinch" when he caught somebody. Soooooo the installer at The Car Shop was a off duty cop who has a second job as a theft device installer, and he "pinched" a white wire from under your dash????? And the white wire was single so we don't have to worry 'bout his wife or kids when he goes to jail.
Or we used to 'pinch' a girl in her behind but don't do that anymore since being hit up the side of the head toooooo many times and finally learned not to do that kind of "pinching".

The free online factory service manual wiring shows the power steering box under the dash near the drivers steering wheel and one pin, one wire (white) check connector for that unit being under there also but a bit more to the right. See jpg attached.
