harness problem

[hofficergrover]

ok i went to a jy and got another harness it was all good but the steering colum had been removed and they had cut all but one plug off. so i got it home and fix the harness and did the vics and the dist plug and added what was to be added for my bp and i put it all back in except the dash left it out and hooked every thing up and bolted the cloum in and turned the key and no fuel pump!!!(all grounds have been cleaned) and i still have the problem with the fan coming on insted of the lights but now i have turnsingals and i didnt befor? any ideas guys?? this crap is getting to me badly haha making very angry.

well i was using the test light and found that my fuel pumps hot wire is running as ground and the ground is ground? and its never done that til i changed the harness. but i didnt mess with any thing back there. so yeah and my wiper motor is getting power to all the wires but one and they still dont work and same withe the lights but now the fan dont kick in when i turn them on?

ok i am not getting any poer to the switch taht shuts off fuel pump when in a crash, or rolled.
where is the fuel pump relay? and does that control the power to the switch?

Electrical issues are my bane! Sorry dude try to get a diagram and go from there..there are some on here or in the back of the Haynes manual. Good Luck!

[hofficergrover]

yeah i looked at them they dont say where they are on the car

i fixed the head light problem. now i have lights

[hofficergrover]

ok i have fix it all but i am not sure if i have fix my maf problem i have not started the motor just yet. hopefully it is tho

you do realize that the fuel pump only turns on when the vaf door has been cracked open with the key in the run position..... right. its not like newer vehicles that turn on automaticaly until ample pressure is built up.

[hofficergrover]

yeah but if the relay is taken out and jumpered so that when the key is on the jumper is automaticly getting power and turns it on.

try to just put power to the pump and just bypass all of factory wires, and see if the pump works. if it works then i would start tracing all the wires that go to the pump. i have done a harness swap from carb to efi and i know your frustration, i also tried using a butcherd harness and had alot of problems, but then i gave up and found a complete harness and the install was flawless and so much simpler!!

[hofficergrover]

yeah but my harness wasnt all messed up with any thing that went to the pump and if i just do that then the wire that is from the vaf that goes to the pump relay dont get pluged in then the vaf is geting the wrong reading because of no relay. do you know if the relay should have a constant power to it?

[1988festivazoom]

i honestly dont know for sure, but do you know if the pump even works at all? im saying to just put a 12v supply to the pump to test it to make sure it even works

[hofficergrover]

yes the pump does work it is fixed but cvar womt run it only kicks on when the motor is cranking and is running so now i have to find out y it wont run.

[1988festivazoom]

its only supposed to run when the engine is being crancked over and or running.

[hofficergrover]

yeah i figured thats how it goes. but it still dont run right like it dies after about 10 seconds or so of running. hear is the video of what it does jsut idle no tryin to rev
