First thing I checked lol ---------- Post added at 08:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 AM ---------- > [@brent\_strong](#): > > Check the condition of the relays up front. I had mine corrode and my headlight motors went nuts. Do you know which relay that is? Im guessing a fuse or something as they worked fine Sat as we were putting everything together and now don’t. Who knows with this car though haha. ---

There are 2 fuses. One for the lights “HEAD” and one for the actual motor. It is a 30A “RETRACT” fuse on the skinny 6 fuse box near the left fender. The relay is located in the main relay box near the front right corner by the radiator, unless you moved it. Check out page Z-55 of that CD I gave you. It is the 3rd realy in from left to right. > [@cougarspeed](#): > > This car pwnssssss my life electrically. In the future disconnect the battery whenever you work on it electrically. Even if you think you might unplug something but not sure I would disconnect it. Unplugging shit with the battery connected is usually what causes these types of headaches. ---

Thanks guys. That lil project turned into a lot of work. I will get ambitious soon and probably add a 10" woofer behind the driver seat and finish carpeting behind the pass seat. A quieter exhaust might be in order as well but im considering some :snky: setups this winter so it will stay for now. ---

> [@38stang](#): > > Turbos make nice mufflers…lol Thats the tentative plan. I just need to decide how much time/monies I feel like spending this winter. It also sounds nice to me to leave it and just paint the engine bay/finish interior lol. > [@theblue](#): > > interior is begging for a rear strut tower brace? LOL whoops I forgot to put it back in. I have one but I have to take it out whenever I go race the car to fit wheels/tools in the back. I’ll go toss it in later and see how it looks. Guys any ideas on the area behind the seats? Should I just carpet it(lots of contour would look OK but not great IMO) Maybe use hardboard to make it flat and carpet that.(Like I did to the trunk) I like mentioned am also considering woofer one side and carpet/hardboard the other. Damn I need a pic. ---

Went out and tossed the strut bar back in and it does look great. Thanks the blue I totally forgot. Second pic is the area I am undecided what to do with and is basically all I need to do to “finish” the interior. ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/DSCF3970.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/DSCF3970.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/DSCF3971.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/DSCF3971.jpg) ---
