New member and new 2002!

[XtremeMotorworks]

Just thought I would introduce myself and my new ride. My name is Willie and I'm out of Preston,wa. Selling my 72 Celica this weekend so i decided to pick up a 72 2002 to replace it for my daily driver. Always wanted one but just never pulled the trigger. So here she is in all her glory lol

ok so back on track here....My plan for the near future is to lower it on some coil overs, some 16in wheels and but a muffler on it since its missing in action lol

Now for what Im trying to figure right now is why I have no brake lights, turn signal or wipers. Ive done some searching but I'm slammed at my shop at the moment, anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Start simple. Replace fuses, bulbs, clean grounds. Lots of info in the FAQ section and FAQ Article Construction Zone.

Well after reading about 20 threads on here,went through the grounds, bulbs look good. Took apart the t/s switch/arm and found it zip tied together and broken in about 4pieces. My guess is thats causing my trouble, was going to try and jump the switch to make sure its not just one problem of many. Anyone have a good source for a wiring diagram?

Welcome, seems like you should be just fine with an 2002. The car looks to be a good base. When you mention 16's, do you have a specific wheel in mind? Looks like you guys have a bit of fun with snowmobiles as well.

Small note, please fill in your email/contact (PM function does not work) info. Some people might like to pass on helpful information without resorting to a back and forth posting match.

Ya we do a lot of sled work to. Try to keep the cars just for fun though! I changed my profile so i think I can be emailed/pm now.

Few more pics of the wiring, never fails everyone thinks there an electrician and they just start cutting stuff:(

Welcome!

The 2002 must draw elementary electricians - kind of scary

Welcome to 2002 ownership! Let's simplify your wiring nightmare.

Remove all this sheeeeit.

It's been disabled by a P.O. anyway in your car. Remove the clear + wire (it's a resistor wire) from the emission harness... the full length...and run it to the 12th fuse in your fuse box and the other end to the +end of the coil. Very easy to do and cleans up the engine bay a LOT.

[XtremeMotorworks]

Nice! Thanks for the pic. I was pretty sure I could remove that, just needed someone to say go for it lol How about the million water temp sensors on this thing, what one do you guys run?

[Collinster742002]

I run the one you pictured with the lack of the spade connector. Just pick one up at an auto parts store and get rid of that ghastly wrap-around wiring. It makes me wonder what else is wired with the "twist n' go" approach..

[XtremeMotorworks]

another great wiring job..

Fuel line..

brake booster...

[XtremeMotorworks]

Couldn't stand looking at the valve cover so i cleaned it up...

Anyone no what wheels these are and what they might be worth? Not going to happen right now but want to sell them when I lower the car. Was thinking of these wheels 16x8 20mm, just don't know if I could squeeze them in
