LS1 FD wiring questions
 
I am trying to wire up the car and get it started but am having issues with the RX7 wiring. I previously had someone working on the car prior to going ls1 so I am unshure if the wiring got screwed up. I relocated my battery and have my power routed like so: Battery > Starter> Alternator> Small fusebox that was mounted to the battery originally> larger fuse box on driverside fender. I have power to interior lights, taillights, signals and radio but thats it. nothing else works, no headlights, windows or switched 12v at the pass kick panel etc. any help would be greatly appreciated.

well check the wiring right behind your gauge cluster. I would start there. And when I get home from school I will show you an awesome way to run your power if you dont want to run it that. But mine is a FC. And keep in mind if you put your battery in the back if you want to ever take it out to the drag track near you or anywhere you have to have a kill switch put on eh. But check your fuses and behind your guage cluster though.

behind the gauge cluster or under as in remove my dash?? thats gonna suck if i have to do that. I will keep searching but if it comes down to it, you gotta do what you gotta do

like does your whole cluster pop out. Like on my fc I have a plastic piece that is just an outline persa around my cluster. On the plactic piece has my blinkers, lights, 4 ways, cruise all that jazz. Just pop that off and check the wires that lead into that. And ya check your main in car fuse also. Like pull the fuse and check the fuse box. Thats yoru best bet in my honest opinion. Like I was having the same problem almost as you are having right now, and that is what I did

I'll definatly do that. I believe there is a little more than what the fc has when removing the dash but not sure. never pulled it out before. thanks I'll look at that.

Got it started up on Friday! The smaller fusebox just wasn't connected all the way, i felt like a dumb ass!! Its open exhaust manifolds right now so its f'in loud but awesome!!

He!He!

I made the exact same mistake. I left out one of the large fuse box connectors.

Just remember, there's absolutely no reason to remove your dash to do the conversion.
