Had the day off so I took advantage of the free time and I dropped the engine back in. Only scratched the paint in one small spot on the firewall. Dropped it in solo in about 20 min. 










Then I went for a bike ride...

I've been chipping away at odds and ends. Last night I got the PPF and the drive shaft back in the car. Re-installed the clutch slave cylinder too. 


* I've run into some electrical gremlins though.* 

1. I can't get the headlamps to pop up or power on. 

2. The sun roof won't work.

3. I had the dash lights working but I took out the AC panel to check the bulbs and now none of the gauge lights on the cluster work.

4. No power getting the ECU/Commander


I have two mystery plugs under the dash near the fuse box that I cannot seem to find out where they are supposed to go.

I also have one plug behind the dash right where the main engine harness comes through the firewall that is not plugged in and I am not sure where that one goes. I am wondering if I might have missed that one when I put the dash back in. 


Last but not least, I just got a new PFC with an OLED commander and I hooked that up but I am getting no lights the the commander. I know for certain that I have some grounds not attached to the engine yet and that will be there next thing I will do. 


Any thoughts on the lights, sun roof, pop ups etc? I checked all my fuses and there all good. I'll post up a photo of these mystery plugs I am talking about. If any one has some suggestions I am all ears. 



Mystery plugs, One blue (bottom of the picture) and one 3 way white.



The gauge lights looked pretty cool for the few minutes that I did have them on though.
