So a few weeks back I took my FD out for a drive and it was having a thermostat problme and overheating..... By the time I got it somewhere safe coolant blew out all over the engine bay.... The motor is obviously done cuz after I fixed the thermostat the car barely runs and spits clouds of white smoke... However, I have been trying to get it to start again so I can get it out to my guys at Stage in Kirkland, WA.... I have a breaker between the main fuse box and the Yellow top optima behind the driver's seat. Every time I turn on power and anything electrical activates (alarm, lights, ignition, etc) the power is killed... I thought maybe it was a short from the engine bein wet, but it has been weeks and still nothing..... Anyone got any ideas??

 

check the main harness for damage...look in the front wheel wells, under the liner.
