    Does your car start?
    Check your pinouts if not - I had no windows and the car wouldn't start, and my body harness pins 7 and 15 were wired into the the wrong engine harness wires. Keep in mind this is for an M50 OBD1 (It should be 7(body)-->21(engine) and 15-->15. I had 7-->15 and 15-->21)
    Just a shot in the dark, but who knows

      yep car starts and runs fine. Someone said something about a green and black starter wire that should be grounded? an unloader or something? im not the best with electrical but im pretty sure my harness wiring is ok.

        Fix the low beam switch first...

          I am having this same problem, no power windows, no headlights and car wont start. But I dont have a swapped engine, its the stock m20 engine. However, fusebox got replaced due to a short and ever since the car has this issue.
          I am new to this and need some help. When you mention "pins" where exactly are they located?
