big help needed
ok i bought my car damaged, it was not running cos it had front damage. i had the pannel work done and they replaced the looms in the engine bay with a import front cut i bought aswell. some things on the car were working when i sent it to the pannel beaters that are not working now ie: odometer reading, radio, indicators power windows and central locking, plus the car wont fire. it will turn over but not fire. i cant hear the fuel pump prime either. as the front of the car was smashed i didnt try to start the car b4 i took it to the panell beaters to be repaired. the car also has an alarm, which is now half wired in and half out, due to the looms in the front of the car being replaced.
my question is what should i look at first, could some or many or these problems be related?
i hear you can reset the ecu could this help my problem?
does the ecu control things like power window and odometor reading?
oh yer when i turn the key to on i get a click from the abs unit?
any help would be greatly appreciated
keep well
thanks clint

No it's not Turbo'd
Depends on what kind of welding... Arc Welding (Electrical) yes.. shure can you're talking about serious voltage/amperage...
Butane Welding... No has no effect on fuses....
I'd check relays since those have a "Rating" as well and can fuse if overloaded...
There's a whole set of fuses below the drives side dash, and then a couple more + a ton of relays to check in th engine compartment...

There should be three plugs at the ecu end of the wiring harness (or "loom" for you guys down under ). All three should certainly be plugged in.
I'm not sure if this is what you are referring to.

there seems to be four plugs going into the ecu two from a thin wiring harness and two from a much thicker wiring harness but the thicker harness has a third blue male plug on it and its isnt plugged in and i can find anywhere for it to go

of course you must plug in the blue one...............it gives power to odometer radio and etc. look more carefully under dash....you will see another blue conector to plug them together.........
and then i wish you good rides

You will find the blue female plug, just above the ecu hanging, waiting to be connected with the blue male plug(!!! )
If you can't find I 'll take pics of mine to show you.

ok ive found the femal blue plug, and plugged it in and zip, nothing. i still have all the problems i had before, no brake lights, no indicators, no engine light, the only thing that works on the dash is the fan and the fresh air button, i have no power windows , no central locking, no interior light, no radio. i have head lights and windscreen wipers, engine wont start, probable cos theres no fuel getting to it cos the fuel pump dont work, but it turns over with the starter motor.
****
i dont know what else to do
