car will not start at normal starting position (i.e the end of the key barrel turn). instead it starts randomly between 60-80% of the barrel turn.
Previous owners tried to rewire for sound and did a terrible job. Do I have to pull off the dash to access all the wiring connected to the instrument cluster and radio? I ask because I think at this point the car audio is beyond repair and should just be removed, also the dash lights are dead.
I realize this is probably related to the crappy car audio job, but the battery dies almost over night. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to get that to stop.
2 of the 4 electric windows are missing motors and controllers. does anyone have a suggestion for getting these windows working again.
I hope to hear from someone soon, id like to get this thing back on the road soon!
