electrical issues
Hi im currently rebuilding the car from ground up, ive done the battery relocation to the trunk. ive fitted through out the car ATO smart fuses that light up when they blow.
I put the battery on tonight to test sound system lights etc and nothing works only non of the fuses have blown no power to sound system or electric windows/doors or dash lights etc
Only thing that seems to work are the lights front/rear, interior fans, turbo timer alarm arms but does not lock doors cant figure out what it could be? could it be the main engine fuse 120 amp, or a relay, bad earth as ive relocated it?
please help electrics really spoil my rx7 fun

Damm ive still got the same problem ive tested all the circuits and earths with tester, tested main fuse all ok no other fuses have blown.
still no action from sound system, or electric windows or extra gauge lights, or race logic controller.
but fans and all lights work apart from the indercators dont work but if you use the hazzard button on the dash they work? WTF is going on? could it be the streering wheel column? but the turbo timer taps into the wheel column and that works? stressed lol
any ideas from anyone?

I'm going to repeat this again.
Randomly poking around will get you nowhere. Pick something that does not have current and trace the problem back to the source using the step by step procedure for that circuit outlined it the above manual.
Expecting someone to remotely diagnose your electrical problems is not realistic.

Tested all main cables and earths and fuses all fine getting a signal on the tester also getting full power to starter, but not cranking over
still no power to sound system, extra gauges, launch control and both electric windows. Fans, interior light, external lights, keyhole light WORK when key is inserted the beeping starts.
Question 1
Is the battery powerful enough it is fully charged btw? see pic
Question 2
Main earth im getting signal off it what do you think on the main earth position? good / bad? see pic
Question 3
The main fuses & boxes, ive taken apart both fuse boxes all test ok and fuses work (ive asked some more question on the pic's of the fuses boxes)
anyway ive tested the outside all seems ok, now starting under the steering column - see pics???? wtf are all these extra fuses taped into to
one of the cables for any one else have these??? see pics big can of worms i just opened lol
anyway ill start testing the cables, tonite and the ignition switch

there no engine in the car atm, i just wanted to make sure i was getting power through everything (no circuit brakes) not actually use it permanently. Why do certain parts of the car need 12 V to actually work.

I would check your fuse box wiring and make sure all the clips are actualy pluged into the bottom.. The smaller fuse box has a little blue clip close to the drivers headlight, that is where i would start it controles power windows , sunroof , and ignition system and a few other things.... that would be where i would start checking ...... Good luck!
