ninja came and helped… but we still need to iron out this problem… if anyone thinks they can help please stop by… somehow the power input to the brake pedal switch is broken from the output of the fusebox… 😕 ---

ok ok ok… finally… DONE… for now… fixed so much crap tonite… as for basic maint: -oil/filter change -new coolant -some tranny fluid additive (to stop the small leak) -engine cleaner additive repair wise: -replaced the 2nd broken bolt, drilled out the threaded hole to make room for a new bolt ![http://www.buffalo.edu/~tjf22/brokenbolt.jpg](http://www.buffalo.edu/~tjf22/brokenbolt.jpg) this is the broken bolt as it sat before i drilled it out a week ago… what a pain in the dick -got everything back on from the alternator job -took a spin to wendys and my brake lights wouldnt work all of a sudden (had this problem at the close of last season, never found the problem as it always happened here and there) and so begins the electrical fixing ninja started at the battery/fusebox, i started at the brake switch 1 foot from the brake switch the harness goes behind the firewall insulation and runs from the drivers side to the passenger side where it goes through the firewall, underneath the battery and up to the fusebox… anywho… i found this little bugger ![http://www.buffalo.edu/~tjf22/orangeplug.jpg](http://www.buffalo.edu/~tjf22/orangeplug.jpg) wtf is this and what is it doing here, it doesnt plug into anything… i tore it apart, the burn mark on the top there gave me the motive to see what was going on inside… ![http://www.buffalo.edu/~tjf22/insideorangeplug.jpg](http://www.buffalo.edu/~tjf22/insideorangeplug.jpg) seems like its some sort of little junction box that just jumps the like colored wires together… only inside was terribly rotted out… so i cut the wires from the plug and crimp capped em together… everything works like a charm now :tup: many thanks to teh ninja for teh helpz0r ---
