I have to apologize because my question cannot possibly have a positive answer. But I really just need to know if the computer in a 1995 GST is required to be operational for the car to have any electrical power.
I parked my car in my mom's parking lot for about 8 months with the battery removed and on a maintenance charger. It was running fine. I only parked it because I have 2 jobs working from home and didn't want to keep it insured since I have access to 4 other cars.
So the story goes: I removed the battery and pulled the computer to investigate it. But in that time, I did nothing with the computer after all. 8 months later, I just plugged it back in and installed the battery.
But there's no lights, no sign of any power. I used a battery tester the battery is perfect.
If there computer is shot, shouldn't the headlights at least work? I found a mouse nest in the curve of the intake manifold and I removed it. I see no sign there's something wrong with any of the wiring or fuses.
BUT I know mice had eaten the wires of my stepfather's truck and he needed a new harness. Do you think I might need a main wire harness too? The little bastards.
