Did some work today.
I first went about trying to figure out why the turn signals don't work.
To understand how the n600 turn signals work you have to understand how a string of old christmas lights work. Remember what used to happen back in the 50s-80s when you pulled one bulb out? The entire string of lights went out. The same is true for the n600 turn signals. If one is out, they all are.
I wasn't sure if the problem was wiring or a dead bulb.
I connected a wire I found disconnected and then fired up the car to see if that solved it. It didn't.
I then took each bulb out and tested it with a multimeter to see if there was continuity. I dropped one bulb in the process and broke it.
Somehow taking all of the bulbs out and putting them back in did the trick.
Now for the fuel sender. My car always says, "empty," which is rather annoying. So I started by propping the back of the car up because there is almost zero room under that car.
The next step was to drain the gasoline. The drain bolt wouldn't come undone, so I had to siphon it.
Convinced the tank was empty, I decided to drop the gas tank. I first had to raise the car even higher because there was STILL no room under the car.
A few inches higher I finally dropped the tank and gas started pooring EVERYWHERE. Look like the tank wasn't empty after all.
Here is the tank. To give you an example of how small a 6 gallon tank is, I put my hat on top of it:
Long story short, the fuel sender is missing the top of the unit that has the wires coming off of it. I tried testing it with a mutlimeter but it kept acting funny. I either need to replace it or figure out a way to get it to work.
The plan is to get this car working and registered by the end of this coming week so that I can drive it while I'm doing my engine swap on the Civic.
With any luck I'll be taking out the entire exhaust tomorrow (rust and all) and replacing it with a clean exhaust that came with the car.
