So in trying to put our car back together I got a new battery and put everything back in the engine that I had removed. In hopes of starting it again and getting the windows rolled up. Anyway, did that but didn't put the dash back in.

What is essential to have plugged in for the electrical system to function? I mean I didn't even have dome lighting. Is there stuff in the dash that needs to be plugged back in? If so what? I eventually need to get the wiring back together but for now, pushing the car to an empty spot and putting a cover should buy some extra time before we can tow it.

Oh I should mention that the car was at one point in time working. But was having trouble starting on occasion and the battery was really weak. New battery should fix that latter problem.

 

is the ignition switch connected back up?You need it,so you can turn the key to On to at least roll the windows back up.

 

Not sure, I don't think so since I wasn't getting any power to well anything. The amount of wires in there is staggering...

 

If the ignition switch was powered correctly then the wipers and turn signals would work w/key to on. The Main fuse in the Engine fuse needs to be good as well.

 

The fuses were working fine before, I'll check them make sure they didn't blow at some point. The only fuse box is the one in the engine bay right?

 

No, there's also one by the dummy pedal kick panel. S4 anyways, don't know about S5, but it's all in the FAQ.
