Hey guys my 86' z31 may have been boosted backwards by this retard friend of mine, i have a brand new battery in it and it get no power whatsoever to anything , no lights come on at all, i ever tried hooking my batter up from my truck while it was running and nothing! could this be a relay or a fuse or did this buddy fry my ecu? if anyone knows anything please email me at reidhunt@telus.blackberry.net or message me thanks...

 

first, check the fusible links. under the hood near the battery if i remember right. they are little blocks that have a short length of wire looped on them. and when my '87 lost all electrical, it turned out the battery was fried. like totally dead. i could not even get anything to work with jumper cables hooked up from a running car. i thought the car was toast, but i went and got a new battery, and it fired right back up. and the battery in question was less than 6 months old btw.

 

check the fusible links? (bastard beet me to it^^^)

 

so would a wire be loose in that little box or what?
is it possible that the ecu fried?

 

ECU doesnt control all of the power, check the links if they are fried replace, if not then move on.

 

the wire usually burns out under the sheath, so get a multimeter and test them all. i had one go bad on my '87 that actually burned through the sheath, so it was easy to find.

 

im really new to this stuff what is the sheath??

 

the wire jacket. the plastic that the wire is coated in.

 

s**t would this be in the engine bay or could it have gone through the firewall under the dash? i checked all the small fuses by the driver kick panel and none were burnt, is there any big fuses in the car that could have blown? anyways entropy that z32 is sweet i just sold my 92 fairlady they are some wicked rides

 

thanks for the compliments, i really love my z32. and what i am talking about is a smaller box under the hood. its over near the battery, and about 1.5"x4". there should be little blocks with loops of wire. those are the fusible links. check all of them.
