Yahooo, electrical problem fixed

As some of you migh know, i got my RX7 1 week ago, after unflooding the engine i have experienced 2 major problems

1. Idle is too high
2. No interior lights of any kind, "room" fuse blows as soon i put it in, blew 4 already testing.

So anyways I was detrermined to fix the electrical today and leave idle for tomorrow.

Equiped with 2 major wiring diagrams from Factory Manual (thankx to this forum) I started to unplug things one after another, and testing the fuse with 30A fuse which whould spark a little everytime i slightly touch the connectors (telling me that i still have a short somewhere). After about 1 hour all the fuses except 60A which provides the power to the "room" fuse where out (all of them), almost every plug-in plug was unpluged including the main CPU and every little relay or breaker, and it was still sparking, so i started to give up and my last resort where the amp, theft computer and heater (i know some of the components are totaly not related to the "room" fuse, but because i couln't find a problem i decided to diconnect everying).

And what do you know, as soon as i desconnected Theft computer sparking stoped YAhooo, that was one of the major electrical problems i ever experienced.

After one our of connecting everyhing together, my lights CAME ON, and door ajar idiot light was off when i close the doors, i started the car and it RAN FINE, i am pluning to keep the Theft CPU unpluged unless it will give me any grieve.

IS THAT A COMMON PROBLEM, SOMEONE ENLIGHTEN ME

:o)

ART

PS: My first Rx7 by the way
