Default need help honda techs

Here it is:
car: 89 CRX si OBD0
Motor: Dohc ZC JDM

1. starter sent ground to 12v side of battery (replaced starter)
2. oil and battery light are on even if the ignition is off
3. check engine light doesn't come on when the ignition is on
4.The oil and battery light only come on when I connect the engine wiring harness

here are my questions:

What module controls the check engine light?
Do OBD1 and OBD0 injectors matter?
What do you think is the problem?

Please let me know what you think, thanks

Voltage Drop test's.
Did you check the junction connector near the battery that goes though the firewall?
Obd 1-0 injectors wont matter unless you dont put the plugs on.

Start with one problem, say the oil light. Grab a wiring diagram and start from the wire on the back of the gauge cluster, now trace it all the way to the back of the motor, if you find a burnt patch or stripped wire, than you have your problem, this is what a tech at Honda would do.

Good luck, if you need help, pm me.

It is lame in the NPR/Hudson area, there are some crazy fast cars but no one comes out....we are on a "Racing" forum and all that comes to the hudson/mitchell rd. meets are like 4 cars that actually race, 32 spectators that follow everyone in there Geo's and 15 underage high school alcoholics.....

Haynes manual is your friend, but if you have 60 bucks you can get a real Honda reapir manual. Even nicer.

alldatapro.com is my friend. I'm going to try to get another engine wiring harness to see if it's that one, or the one inside the dashboard that's burnt.

I took the wiring harness off, tested it, found a few problems, stripped it, and fixed it. Oil light and battery light don't stay on anymore, my check engine light is back, main relay's working, we'll just have to see if it starts.
