Greetings All,
Well, I am slowly making progress on my 86 Daytona Turbo Z C/S. Today I installed a radio for the first time-- a Mopar infinity, along with some speakers.
The radio works nicely and sounds good. When I open my door, and the dome light comes on, the radio goes out, as if someone pulled the fuse. The back lit buttons stay lit, as that is a different circuit. The time chronometer thing also blacks out. What gives? How can this happen when they are on two different fuses and circuits? How can an electrical load make another circuit stop working?
I don't know if it relates, but my horn doesn't work either, even after swapping horn relays. I tried to study the wiring diagram book, but I really don't know where to start looking and tracing. There were mice living in the car at one time. I think I got the nest removed, as there was a pile of insulation on top of the HVAC box, which I removed, cleaned, and replaced the heater core and A/C evaporator core. I have found no chewed wires whatsoever, thus far.
Also, my engine temp gage doesn't work. Is there a way to test the little one wire sensor on the cylinder head? And is it more common for the actual gage to go bad and not the sender?
Thanks for any help in advance!
