Ignition wires?
Well, my bro has been having starting trouble with his 89 Formula 305TBI...
Car is dead, no power anywhere, and naturally won't crank. The power wires for the starter all have countinuity, as do all ground from battery, and the main fusible links coming directly off the batt, as well as the alt fuseable link.
Right now, we've checked every circuit we can find in the Chilton's manual, but those aren't the most complete books (obviously).
I was hoping somebody could (ideally) point me in the right direction, or (equally as good :P ) post some useful schematics (such as ignition wiring, and chassis wiring).
Thanks in advance

What systems in your car do have power? Have you checked for power to the ignition switch. anti theft relay in left kick panel, park/neutral (auto trans) switch or clutch safety (manual trans) switch? Do you have lights or fuel pump run? does your key have the pellet in it and does the security light come on and stay on until you release the key?

OK, nothing had power, then he was dicking with it while I was in class today... Guess he got power back, just won't crank.
Thinking its most likely still messed up wiring tot he starter (user error, if you will) or a open circuit in the ignition-to-starter wires...
