white 1987 FC My new $200 car
hey im new here... and new to this platform in general...
i had a 93 miata (until a truck hit it)
well due to the insurrance company i was through i got $300 for my car ($5000 value)
so i began looking for something ANYTHING to get me back and forth to work.
well after buying a 323 that blew up (literally) 5 miles down the road...
i was pissed i had almost given up when i heard from a family friend that someone had a white FC on the side of there house and wanted it gone ASAP
i said $200 they said fine... and so it began....
i have gotten it running muuch better it had a fresh motor 194,000 on the body and tons of cool little goodies (working logicon!) but it lookes rough inside and out (but mechanically its pretty sound)
now i have it running good but the other night.. i got in started it up and BLIP hedlights went out...
i started off the easy way checked all the fuses
next i noticed some moisture (from a radiator issue 2 days before)
so i checked the relay bench tested them and there all good...
so i got the DMM out, started checking plugs for voltage... nothing past the fuse block in the assembly was getting voltage...
so i pulled the switch sure enough there was some burnt molex from a creeping circut... well i redid the board plugged it in and bam interior lights rear lights and breaks work... but still no headlights...
ANY SUGGESTIONS!?
