Electrical Issues

This is my first car and I have found some unexpected problems. The head lights no longer go back down. The sunroof doesnt move to well. The brake light comes on and off. the radio or the speakers do not work. and i dont think the horn works. also the A/C doesnt work.

The engine seems to run fine and the clutch is good. I dont have much first hand experience with the car; but from the research i have done it seems mechanically sound.

Thanks

Mentioning that you own an 86 NA would be helpful to others trying to diagnose your problems.

Start by checking the fuse. If the fuse is fine it sounds to me like you have a bad electrical harness. If you have a bad harness the only way you can get the lights down is going straight to the motor and criss cross wires.

I got the headlights working.

Where are the speakers in the car? I took out the old casette player, which didnt work, and the only speakers i see are the in the back over the suspension. Is there a way to tell if they work?

And my car doesnt do the 3k warm up, how bad is that?

And the tach doesnt work but the shift light does. Is that an easy fix?

Thanks
