Re: dead on arrival IROC

Check the positive battery cable and make sure all you connections are tight.

Re: dead on arrival IROC

Nice project. Have you made sure the engine isn’t locked up? Bad starter possible too.

The one on the left is an aftermarket shifter cable. It probably had another shifter in it at some point and was switched back to stock setup and they didn't remove the cable.

Re: dead on arrival IROC

So...neither of the power windows work and I determined it was the motors , that being said I took the door panel off and of course it was all water damaged and rotted in the front bottom corner . I made a patch outta son Xmas boxes and got some new push pins and she’s good to go

Re: dead on arrival IROC

The extra cable on the shifter goes to the ignition switch on the column and is the locking mechanism that keeps you from taking out the key without putting it in park.
