Electrical Problems 96 Cobra
Hi,
I bought a 96 Cobra as a project car. The car runs and drives very good now and the body is in great shape but I am having electrical problems. The car had been parked for two years before I bought it and was told the stereo didn't work, but I'm not sure if everything else worked before it was parked. The seller told me the stereo was missing but looking at it from the driver’s seat the stereo looks all in tacked.
I have no interior lights, no power locks & the key fob does nothing, no lights or sound in the stereo, and the odometer isn’t working either.
The speedometer, tach, headlights, taillights, turn signals, and power seat all work properly. I have replaced all the fuses down by the floor in the driver’s side compartment fuse panel with no change and all the old fuses look fine.
What is the proper way to diagnose electrical problems? Are there any tools or meters which will help me? I’m not sure where to start or where to go now?
Thanks,
Mike

I would re-check the under dash fuses and also take a look in the engine compartment fuse box, chasing through all the wirring will be a a nightmare, but it sounds like a fuse type issue since multiple things are out.
