Need help, car has no electrical power
Im stumped on this, it's a 2005, I just got the car back from getting rebuilt motor. I had other issues due to the car sitting for almost 3 years. So I'll go down the list of parts that have been replaced or tested.
Replaced window motor
Replaced Alternator
Replaced all coils
Replaced coil bracket
started tested good
battery tested good
120amp main fuse shows intact
15amp engine fuse shows intact
STOP fuse shows intact
found cut wire in third brake light and fixed it
After getting the motor replaced the EPS hasn't worked except once randomly. I cleaned all connectors as requested in other forums with no success. I had two coils get hot and melt which blew the 15amp engine fuse and shut the car down. After replacing the fuse and coil I let the car idle for 10 minutes and rev'd it a little. I waited a couple minutes and wanted to test a hot start. So I turned it off and waited a minute then turned the key and lost all power.

Engine bay fuse box in the right fron corner, there is a 120 amp fuse where the wires come into the box.

Glad you got your baby back up and running! Great success story. Its nice to see people not give up on older cars. I have a few friends with 8's who are planning to sell or junk theirs when they run into their first serious problem.
