Goal for today. Take all tape off check continuity for every wire i soldered... so fun!

Why do we need the blue parking brake wire again?

Also does anyone have the same manual transmission i have. Im trying to figure out the piece that is missing that holds the clutch cable bracket on.

There should be a DFKitcar supplied bracket with the U-shaped notches in it for the shifter cables to mount to.

Not sure about other models. I thought it was to turn off the BRAKE light on the dash, but it doesn't on my car because the anti-lock brake controller is gone so there is a loss of communication.

Pulled the whole wiring harness out of the car... this kind a pain. I can't get the car to start and my axle seals won't go in.

Man. Good luck. I really hope you can get it all back together quick.

If you were closer, I'd stop by to help you out.

There is a tool to help install the axle seals. I know nuker has one. We replaced our seals but didn't use the tool. I had a large round short section of pipe that fit it very well. You have to hit them evenly all the way around. You don't want them starting crooked, it will deform them and cause them to leak.

Good luck!

Does anyone have a diagram showing what each pin in the ecm and bcm correspond to?

 

[Karter2026]

Try this.

Thanks. I reviewed it and because mine is a 2006 manual, there are some discrepancies. Lots of it were the same and it seemed all its about the same

The online Chilton library has all the schematics and pinouts for all the connectors.

Laying on the floor. Easier to work with.

The single blue wire is for your parking brake.

Do you have all five big multi connectors in your fuse box? There is a white multi connector that is for your headlights, it had a ground wire that must be hooked up.

Does your fuel pump ever cycle when you turn on the key?

Does your throttle body's butterfly move when you press the accelerator pedal?

Does the instrument panel lights go off when you turn the key to the start position?

I have all the headlight and blinker wires bundled up, you want me to pull one of the ground wires from that and ground it?

Anyone else get their goblin build number powdercoated over? Mine is no more... sad day for me.

Are you talking about the dog tag that gets riveted to the frame?

 

[Lonny]

The big ground from the white fuse box plug must be grounded.

My id tag got powdercoated but you can still read it.
