Default Help . . .

I have two different questions.

1. Does anyone have a good picture of where/what wires are hooked on the starter solinoid? When I got my car back from paint, they were all disconnected.[:@] I have them attached and she will run and idle now but I just want to insure that I have them in the right location. The manual I have is no use, it appears as though a 3 y/o with crayons made the wiring diagram and notes.

2. I have a aftermarket alarm system and since I got her back from paint the key fob is the only way I can lock or unlock the doors. the inside swith on the driver and passanger side will not work. I removed both door panels thinking that the shop hooked me up and not my door looks but everything is connected.

I am not sure if that will do anything. I was just out pissin with it and I am getting not voltage to either connection. I think I may have a silly little gremlin hiding somewhere. The previous owner used speaker wire in a few places and did a pretty god hack job over the entire car. now I am trying to fix it all. I read in a post that there was a circuit breaker/fuse under the hood. I know you have a vast amount of knowledge on fox body's from other post I have read of yours. Is this true? Is there a fuse hiding under the hood and I just keep missing it?

I'd have to look at a wiring diagram but the switch may only control the ground side....to un lock and lock it it'll reverse polarity on the wiring through the switch.....but the wirung goes through the door into the body of the car via a rubber acordian boot.. this bends with the opening and closing of the door and over time wiring can break at that point..check for that but without a wiring diagram ..I'm not a work so don't have access to see the whole system..but I'd check the fuse box first for any blown fuses

I would think the breaker is ok seeing as how you can still operate the locks w/ the key fob. I would look more into the switch and the wiring going to it. Do you have power at the master switch?
