Okay.

By the way , the stop lights, power windows, taillights, radio, and pretty much everything else are fed from the fusible link box under the hood to two junction boxes in the left kick panel through connectors 1A-3 and 2A-1. I suspect you will find your gremlin in that circuit.

If you get the data I asked for we will know soon enough.

Poon: You need to trace and unfuck anything the previous owner has done first then you can start from a known point, our cars have quite a complex wiring system with many interconnections that "RickyRacer" may have "fixed" at some point :(

wow. seems like your not the only one who bought a supra with effed up wiring. when i bought mine and looked at it, i just shook my head, and wondered how someone could be so stupid. G/L on the wiring..
and make sure to go through it GOOD. solder, and use shrink tubing, this way you only have to do it once. lol.

Should he be checking continuity to make sure none of the wires are cut or grounding? that goes fast with the multimeter that has a tone when the circut is complete. Check off each wire on a checklist as you check them(holy check batman:icon_bigg ).

then again this can be a complete waste of time for your situation but, is a quick way to make sure the wires are going to where theyre supposed to.

update: She's running tip top!

Shakey grounds, wacky fuse situation and some overall ugly wiring were the culprits
