ka24e to da24de wiring?? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

so i just swapped a DOHC into my 90 hatch. engine runs good any everything. only theres a problem. the only thing that works is the headlights. not the windows, interior lights, or anything. the lights dont even pop up, just turn on.

i think i may have messed up with the wiring. i used the DOHC engine harness and ECU.

i know there are alot of write ups on how to do the swap and i used them. but the wiring part kinda confused me.

questions
when i swap harnesses, do i need to swap the bundle of wires that run through the fenders?
is the body harness they talk about under the drivers or passegers side?

any help would be greatly appriciated. thanks in advance

You've blown a fuse somewhere. There is nothing related to anything else in the car with the engine harness. Take the old one, put the new one in. Plug in the underhood plugs, rewire the dash plug. Done.

You think? The 75A fuse powers the entire car besides the headlights. If it's blown you're not going to get very far.
