Alright, I have a 1995 Gsx some mods nothing crazy, no dsmlink and Im not sure if its been done to it (havent checked the ECU)....
but anyways, my tailights, power seat, windows DO NOT work :(
The ALternator has been checked at 10 different places they all say this it is perfectly fine (bench tested and on car) and it puts out more amps than all OEM ones...
anyways my Brake light, low coolant and battery light is on, there hasnt been a radio in the car since I got it 3 months ago but I still cant find out the problem!
please help :/ *ive also replaced the battery when i first got the car (not a junk wallmart Battery)
 
Palmetto you are my hero! I have had my dash lights on ever since I got my car, I could not figure it out. After testing and changing out batteries and alternators the problem never went away I couldn't figure it out. I never knew about that "relay" and it turns out there was a messed connection inside. No more dash lights!:D
 
Your problem sounds like the same problem I had with a talon a while back. It turned out there was a problem with the wire that feed power the fuse block under the dash.You can check for power by finding the white in the top left corner of interior fuse block. It will be on the back of the block you might have to unbolt it from the dash. I put some pics up try to explain the location of the wire you need to find. But from what I have read I think is the problem.

Nice man Im going to try thiz right when I get my fuel filter done! and if anyone can find out this "relay under my intake" or a picture it will be greatly appreciated!
 
See I even looked at it yesterday LOL, didnt know what it was, Ill go look now, but what exactly should I look for on it? or just buy a new one?
 
I guess just make sure it has a good, clean connection. I took mine apart and saw that inside there was a missing connection. Dont know how it happened but it has been that way for the past six years I have owned this car until yesterday.
 
Did you ever verify that the fuseable links are all good? I had a similar issue and it turned out to be one of my fuseable links. I would really suggest purchasing replacements and trying them, my issues were very similar to your own and I was sure I would never find it! Good luck!
 
I checked well my buddys dad checked with a fancy meter that got grounded from the battery and stuff
 
Well Im takling my electrical stuff tomorrow. I found out my fuel filter was a pain in the rear, and purple power fouls out plugs to make you think its a fuel issue...
 
This entire thread was filled with advice, but since some things you needed to hear aren't allowed, then none of this information is needed.

Don't worry about it. I am not interesting helping you anymore. Good luck.
 
Well I pulled the sensor today, and it was bad one of the prongs was corroded off of it, I got a new one from pullapart, well a used one that has already been opened and slopped some sealer onto it.... and the new one didnt change anything so I think Im going to be ordering a new one tomorrow, any ideas what would be the fastest or easiest place?
 
Okay, but no one said these issues were related, nor should you make the mistake in thinking they are. Did you have power going to the relay? The wire that provides power should be red and white.
