Since my last post, i have made some small progress with the wiring. I hooked up all the earths, and connected a battery.

It's not working.

Well, some good news, it beeps and bongs - telling me there is something wrong, but the dash display is not working so i can't see what it's complaining about.

The other good news is that the starter solenoid clicks on turning the key, but the engine doesn't turn. this could be down to a dead battery, or worst case scenario, a dud starter. It was working fine when i broke the donor, but that was 2 years ago now, and it may well have given up the ghost in this time. other than that is a bit of a mixed bag really...

I have gotten the headlights working, but none of the rear lights.

The cold start valve operates, but not the fuel pump.

The indicator relay clicks, but the lights don't work.

The horns don't work.

The on board computer doesn't work (although i think this is linked with the instruments.)

Apart from this i have tumps and tumps of reduntant wiring that i don't know what to do with.

The plan at the mo is to charge the battery and try the starter again, then at least i can eliminate one thing from the list.

I hate electrics, I really, really do.
