many things not working,  horn, signals, wipers, power antenna, no sound from radio... where do i start? replaced all fuses.. are there relays for these? can i get them easily?

fuse box a bit oxidised.. maybe clear it?

after market steering wheel..  i assume they would have made sure the horn was working when it got put in..

Not necessarily!

Diagnose one at a time. Use a meter check for voltage and ground

ya.. will try to check them all.. but can you get standard relays??

also my steering column clamshell is open and maybe a few plugs undone.. another thing to check..

These two things are probably related...

ya.. i will examine the steering wheel clam shell area with plugs.. also if you can help me i can not find a good image of the 260z relays beside the fuse box right side of passenger foot area..

thanks

Shawn: you can down load the FSM for a 260 here.

ok..so here is whats going on... checked all fuses... on fused with no power are headlights - as they were not on.. so all fuses worked..

horn does not work, windsheild wipers click, washer, clicks, no fan,                                                                                                                                                                    no signals no dome  lights.. and no guages.. fuel , volts , etc.. all dead

here are some photos of wires .. relay under drivers feet..   rest in the steering colum...

does black need to be somewhere or grounded? does red go to black connectors?? wire off from  signal stem...

 

could there be one fuse causing all this?? or one relay ??

any ideas...

Somebody has been hacking around in there.  No easy solutions.  Find a friend who knows electrical and get those wiring diagrams ready.  The Body Electrical chapter has good ones.

 

does that black dead end get grounded? does the spade connector go in the rubber sleeve with female spade? does that relay look like something??

is that green wire near that relay all the guages??

and signals dont even work when i hold wire on place it needs to be soldered to...

can there be one fuses causing all this?? a fusable link? a fuse???

It's a flasher.  I'm going to guess that somebody tired tried to bypass the Hazard switch.  @SteveJ

nope..hazards work but when they flash the stereo lights also flash.. was that an option back then???
