Ok so now that its worm again I started my project again. 88 t2. I finally got it to turn over but the fuel pump was not working and the coils had no spark. I checked my main fuses in the engine bay to find 3 that where blown all 30A. So I went and got 3 new ones two went in fine and the third (the head fuse) blew right as I put it in. Now after searching for a while it seems I have a short. Now I have to find where that short is, can you guys tell me everything that that fuse(head fuse) controls so that I can search for shorts. Also anything else that might make the pump and spark not work. I have also tried two different kinds of fuel pumps.

Thanks guys.

I will check the fuses inside the car tomorrow as it got dark and I ran out of time.

HEADlights

are you sure, i was told different. Any other ideas

Ah, I think NZ might have gotten this one right. It's for the HAID LITES. Then again, it could be for the head. You know. The pisser, latrine, toilet. Got me. Here's a jpg that might help. I got it for free on the web.

I think the Retractor is for the retractor button on the dash. That's used for retracting statements that you would like to .....retract.

Maybe pull the plugs off the light switch and the headlight relay, both. Then install a new fuse and see if it blows. If it does not....then put the headlight relay back in and see if it blows. If it does not, but blows when the light switch plug is reinstalled.......pm ICEMARK and ask his advice on headlight switch harnesses.

How about reading the FSM before telling me I'm wrong...

NZ i did not say you where wrong. you just said headlighs, with no explenation so who am i to know if you where gussing or what. next tiem try useing a compleat sentance.

now that we know its just my head lights i could care less about. I just want to get my fule pump working and a spark out of my coils. could it be a bad ecu.

pinkfloyd

i will try this tomorrow http://www.teamfc3s.org/info/article...nals%20Chapter

in case my ecu or might be dead.

also i dont have my uim, radiator, hooked up could that be stopping the fule and spark. also the ecu beeps all kinds of things when i turn the key to on but dont start it. I tried to search to find out what beep meens what but all i found was the link above, i must not be useing the right key word/words

You should know by now that I don't guess. If I don't know, I don't post. But fair enough; the HEAD fuse is for the headlights, and nothing else but the headlights is fed from it.

And if your upper intake manifold is off right now....check and make sure the ground wires are attached to the top of the rear rotor housing. Those ground wires are for the ECU. The lack of those ground wires will cause the ECU to not put out spark. I'm talking about the black wires on a ring connector that are located about an inch left of centerline on the rear housing.http://www.teamfc3s.org/info/articles/demystifying.html

Now I don't want to be argumenative, so I'll just write these words and let you figure it out from there: HEADLIGHT CLEANER MOTOR
