Question does anyone have a fuse box cover? In need desperate need. Lol. Cheers

So the cars been back on the road and running smoothly thanks to God. Mechanic called in his Dominican buddy who took a day on it and went back to DR before I got a chance to ask him what it was. We spoke on the phone for a second and he s said it was wired wrong. Couldn’t say much more in the few minutes we spoke. So thankfully with all your guys help and then diagrans I printed out and left for him I think it made a world of difference. Thanks a bunch.

As soon as I turn the ignition key and the instrument panel lights come on( battery and oil )the fuse blows. I tried disconnecting the voltage regulator after reading stuff here. Wa sable to drivenit around the block into another spot. So then I disconnected the battery overnight so it wouldn’t drain and it did just that. Got a jump and as soon as the guy took off the positive lead car just shut off. I’m so stressed out fellas. Don’t know what to do. Might go get a new battery or charge mine and try to drive it to somebody hat knows how to use a multimeter like someone said. Havent seen anything with the brakes as of yet. Replaced the brake light safety switch two years ago. Not sure but I’ll check that out later on. Any if you guys know anyone in NYC I can link up with? Cheers and and believe lu me guys I am forever indebted to you all for the help and support.

I can’t imagine it’s wired incorrectly at the alternator. But who knows. The mechanic was working a few cars at once. Also I found wires from around the ignition coil I think that aren’t attached. They look like grounding wires. With metal like u shaped ends. Didn’t take a pic but I’ll try to tomorrow. Battery is completely dead. Won’t do anything. If there’s a short it could be why also. No idea. Any of you guys have a guy in nyc? I’m thinkiking of replacing the ignition coil. That way it’ll have all brand new wires I’m hoping new attachments. It looks rigged with something. Not sure what it is like a black box or like someone said a resistor on the IG coil. It has three loose wires. I was like wtf?? I

I wish I understood all that. All I know is. The ignition coil maybe near the distributor cap has some loose wires like three. She started today. Then cut off and never started again. I unplugged the voltage regulator. It still blew the fuse. This happened like back in April. I was driving in rockaway NJ about 45 miles from home and the discharge light or battery light came on. Then the car died. Got s jump and died. Got a jump and made it to auto zone. Swapped the battery out. Drove back to New York. Ordered a Bosch al302x i thinks. Come to swap it out and the alt don't got no resistor on the back? Ugh! So I use the one from the corolla off the one I just took out. Pretty much an original Toyota alternator. It’s in my storage now. So then the car was ok. Then the light Came on. Changed the fuse car was ok then again. So I ordered another alternator. Thought it was def the alt since it was / is the “heat gen” fuse third from the bottom that’s blowing. I’m thinking. The wires could be crossed? Anyway I get a pure energy 14153 from rock auto. Put it in changed wires, plugs, rotor, Dist cap, can’t find the air filter in stock anywhere and I even put a brand new battery. This more or less all done the day before I posted that video you to Instagram. Then I wa driving fine went from manhattan to Brooklyn to queens back to manhattan all Good. Next day I go to take a ride to a friends house and I put her to warm up and then like after a few minutes maybe 7? poof the fuse blew. And car shut off. She keeps turning over then winding off? So I’m thinking a. Swinging short somewhere or crossed wires. Not sure. I’ve only worked on phones and CatV and low voltage but can’t wrap this around my head. I’m stressing out. Secondly. I don’t have a garage. I got two and a half year old boy and girl twins no baby sitter no job for two years. I’m a stay at home dad who’s Been selling my sneaker collection and the art I bought years ago to get by. Any way that’s the reasons I don’t get much time to put the work into her like I use to. Need a paint job and some light body work. But one day. I promise. That one day she’ll be back in full effect.

account thats her running on my instagram

Hey guys. 8 year owner of the above mentioned car. Really stressing now bc I replaced the alternator, plugs, wires, cap, rotor and now after 3 weeks the car isn’t blowing the “HEAT GEN” fuse,third from bottom on the fuse box panel. Car turns on then shuts off? Replaced the fuse Then the key and pop goes the weasel. I can’t figure it out? Any help suggestions as the car is immobile. One thing tho: after the car turns over and starts it will stay on if I give it gas. The second I let go of the gas, she winds down and off. Starts again but does th same over and over. Blew about 6 fuses last night stuck.
