~ Traced dead short and disconnected a misplaced (blk/w red strp) wire. Horn works, side markers work, tail lights work, only one brake light working, no tag light, headlights work, no instr. clstr lights yet. Oil light works with key in run, dash brake light indicator works, no reverse lights yet. I'm working with the original harnesses which were for an automatic, now a 4 speed. Seat belt buzzer ignition interlock may be the next problem incurred.
~ Once all the electric circuits check out, it will be time to prep the Vortec V6, .030 over for cranking , then hang the doors and send her out for paint. Color? Mazda "Soul Red Crystal" a candy color.
