Please, please, please just follow my instruction.... For a 3rd time:

Start with checking for 12V+VE at ALT fuse or AM2 fuse.

So are your main fuses live? ](*,)

So you say you checked the fuses and then ask where it is?!
I give up. Sell it to someone who can fix it in 30secs. #-o

Well even more reason to leave it to the garage if you're not mechanically minded then!

Take it to a reputable mr2 specialist . Probably would save on Labour hours as they would know what to look for.

Indeed, if it's at a specialist then there's no point second guessing it with advice from the internet. You'll just end up making the process longer!

What are you talking about?

Have you read the reply i bothered typing to try and assist you?

If you have, did you bother following my instructions?

FYI, here it is again:

Start with checking for 12V+VE at ALT fuse or AM2 fuse. If no volts you've blown the fuseable link.

If you want members to offer you help then stop posting random gibberish and use the assistance offered. :roll:


LOL. I came back here after a few years to catch up on some sensible posts and read this.. :lol:
