I need a little help here. I have this 95 240sx with wires every where. Who ever had this car before I got it really F'd everything up trying to add things that didn't need to be. I bought the car a few weeks ago, started it drove it home, noticed that it was sluggish and non of the lights were working, they even had a damn toggle switch to turn on the gauge lights, now I am trying to undo everything that they have done. In the images that I have posted I numbered the positive lines that are coming from the battery. I need help figuring out what needs to stay and what needs to go. I also plan on buying new positive battery cable to help clean all this crap up.

This image has all of the wires in question. I have number them so you can see where they end up in the other pics. Wire labeled 1 is for the crazy dash lights they had installed. Wire 2 goes out the bottom(as seen in image 2). Wire 3 and 4 im not all that sure about.

And this little guy, is it even used?

Any help that you guys can give would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a link for the factory service manual, this should give you an idea of what is what.

Thanks for that manual, I picked up one of those Chilton manuals and this one is by far more detailed.

No problem and good luck!

Well now I have headlights. I checked all the fuses in the fuse box on the driver side for all the interior crap and I have good fuses and the power seems to stop there. Any ideas on where I should look next. Here is a list of the things that I know for sure are not working at this point. I will up date as I move along.

No Dash Lights
No Gauges or lights
No dome light
No Break lights
No turn signals
No door buzzer
No Power Windows

Thanks

The people that had this poor car before me, murdered it.
