For those of you that read my last thread, my car was blowing the ignition switch fuse left and right. I narrowed it down to the wire that goes to the inhibitor switch, and then to the starter. I had to get back to Gainesville ASAP so rather than hunting for how that's all wired up I ran a new wire from my starter straight to the push button I have for my starter (lock cylinder assembly doesn't really turn the switch all the way and it was cheaper and easier to buy a button for $5 rather than shell out $180 for a whole new assembly). With the new wire run, I cut the wire on the ignition switch, eliminating that whole loop...my understanding from the FSM is it goes:

Ignition Switch > Inhibitor Switch > Starter

I don't know what was done with the wires when my SR and 5spd swap were done, but I do know the car worked after I ran the new wire. I drove around the Clearwater area for quite a while, running errands and stuff before leaving for Gville late Friday night. I drove back and used the car all day yesterday (Saturday) without a hitch. This morning I'm on my way to work and made it about 2 buildings away from my apartment in my complex before it popped the same fuse.

Now I'm back to square one. What the deuce? I was so pissed I just jumped the fuseable link with a heavy gauge wire, set my alarm, and got a ride to work.

Oh and when the IGN SW is jumped and I turn the key to ON the EGI (ECCS) relay buzzes.

This car is dead to me.

 

fuck bro.... sorry to here, and even more sorry i cant help yah but here is a free bump, and a good luck

 

Yeah, just when I thought it was over and done with, and the headache was fading into memory BAM it kicks me in the nuts.

 

Who wired it? I'd take it back to them to be honest.

 

I can help you fix it but you would have to bring the car to me and a 12 pack. I don't know if you can ghetto engineer it to run again and come over.

 

lol I'm about to cut every wire on the ignition switch and wire them to toggle buttons. You'll have to know which ones to flip in which order, it'll be like starting the space shuttle. Try to steal my shit haha.
