Ok it started the other night i was fine tuning my engine to recorrect the previous owners stupidity and lack of mechanical skill.
I got the car up and running really great minus my lean rich switch being broken.
So i got in and flipped my lights on just to be safe i walked around the car to make sure all my lights were on and everything was good.

Asa i got in i engaged the clutch to back out and BLIP the headlights went out and my turn signals wouldnt work.
Being a car electrician i started my routine trouble shoot. Start with the fuses and worked my way to meetering all the wires and to my suprise...
Switch (power)
Fuses (power)
Relay (no power)
Headlight plug (no power)
And anything involving that circut (no power)
So i took offthe swithch and resolderd the board were i noticed currosian still nothing happened so i pulled the cars computer and checked it same deal anything curroded i redid.
Now im stumped and anyone with an FC will say splitting the tangled mess of wire loom and tape is a bitch... But thats reely what im down to... Im hoping someones got a suggestion because im stumped... And the parts list is $500+ just to test and see if the switches and relays etc. Are the culprets.
I live in duluth ga and i could def. use some help...

Oh and i almost forgot i ran a test wire from my fuse block and hit my lamp (wile plugged in) and both came on but it didnt solve the turn signal problem.
And i dont need cops pulling me over for having no signal lamps.

Not a good way to win friends or get any help with future problems. Since you stated that you're an automotive electrician, you have big advantage over most everyone else. Replies and answers to posts don't always come quickly or in a timely manner. Instead of being small minded and petty, you should post your solution.

The 2nd gens suffer from cold solder connection failures on most of their electrical components. Icemark rebuilds the main ones that tend to fail.

it turned out to be a relay had corroded and was tucked under the bumper it was a 4 pin single pull single throw i luckly had a spare on my miata parts car so i didnt have to spend $150 for a new one (outragious price!) but yeah everyone should know start with the relays hit each pin with 12v one of the pins will trigger the relay if it doesnt click youve got a bad relay. If thats not it check your switch the molex like most of the fc is cheeep plastic and burns easy... Good luck if you have my problem it wasnt fun... Took me 4 days to trace it... But i redid all my boards so i dont have to do that again now (just with i could get my redline buzzer and clock working again...
