G28 - Simple Mans, Simple REDO of an G28 LP640

[Simple Man]

Started the REDO for a brief moment. 

I put a brace to make the rear more rigid.  Unfortunately it was in the way of the exhaust pipe by about an inch.

Will get a new one.

The REDO came with a Magna Flow system. Will have to see how it sounds with the ZZP front and rear headers (power Log)

When you sorta know what you are doing things go faster.  Driver side has taken about a 1/3 of the time as the passenger side

Wow fast shipping on the morimoto system!  The Internet !!! I am located out in the sticks and I dont think I could get as far on the build without it.  As well as my local hardware store...
 
Also having folks to contact with questions and the comments on here is a must have!  Thank you

Friday is the day to fire up the REDO,  all necessary fluids have be obtained.  Hopefully goes as well as it does on the "reality" car shows.

Thanks 01!

The link for the diagram mainly has the engine functions.

Autozone has a diagram for the headlight wiring.  But the internal wiring of the switch isnt on the diagram.

There are 4 wires, purple being the one that is spliced.  I can cut the wire and see what function it controls.  Or trace the red wire into the fiero and see.

SM: Is the purple wire Fiero or Sebring?  What year Sebring column?

The purple wire is on the Serbring light switch, which is from year 95-99.

There is a mystery red wire (from the fiero side) wrapped  around the purple one.

Hope you resolve your wiring issue, problems in the wiring can be tricky to find.  At least it looks like you are going in the right direction.

Yes I feel pretty good about the progress made.  I have decided to get the Morimoto set up with relays and start fresh from the power distribution block. Then remove the old system and wiring, because its a god awful mess!

So after all that, there is power to the Ballasts but nothing coming out of the ballasts.

When the passenger wiring setup is lightly shaken the driver signal light shut off and comes back on 

Have to mull it over and have a glass of wine

Saw  Murci Me's wiring diagram on the Fiero to Sebring light switch.

Checked the inside wiring to the switch and the REDOs wiring, looks correct.

No power to switch. Examined power distribution block

Saw a couple of things, a hack job on taking an old fuse link out and splicing the wires together & and frayed wire on the other one.

tested both and found "the good the bad, and the ugly" In other words the hacked one was good, the frayed was bad and the both are ugly and need to be replaced

Put a temporary jumper to by pass the bad fuse link.

Now when the switch is turned on the the fiero headlight plug has power.  Although the high beam switch shuts power off between the small (lt green) and the large (tan) lamps.

Fixed all the connections and still no HID lights

Took headlight a part to examine wiring
everything connected.

Saw a few possible suspects
