You most likely need to remake the solder joints--these are notorious for this. mine does it too, only it isn't completely not working. I just too lazy to yank it out and resolder it

the wiring in 3 different RX7s I have owned was to blame for my bad clock. There was a bad connection at the plug. Try to bend the prongs slightly to force a better contact.

This, of course, is assuming you have already resoldered the points.

What do you need the 'idiot' lights for?

All you do. Take a solder gun/pen, heat up the joints,and let them harden again, i believe this is what you do... Rx-7's electricals are all weird like this.
