hi i just picked up my new 87 rx-7 gxl/project car... anyways there were a few issues just wondering if some people can help me out.
- the ligts didnt work, they poped up and the marking ones did, but there is a relay buzzing up a storm, and i donno if its for the head lights, its right near the hood latch.. crazy looking relay like 6 post? Any ideas
- and the car dided on the drive home, first all the lights died, then like 2 min later the car just died..?? pulled over and cranked and cranked (possibly flooded now) but she wouldnt take?? could it be the altinator?
if some one could help me out that would be great thanks

The turn signal relay is actually in the ECU, but the only time I've heard the headlight relay buzz is with either a bad headlight switch or bad turn signal switch.
