Just got my first mazda.Sold :(

need to make it to low down...lol

So, Interesting, I got my alternator rebuilt today... Installed it, Hooked up my stereo, Started the truck Vwalla, Its running running great hooked up my electric choke, turned off, Grabbed my meter and its charging, I was stoked!! ANyway drove it around went and took it to dinner with the girlfriend, Drove it around town hit switches a lil bit, Started running hot so I came home, Pulled it into my driveway, Turned it off, Let it cool down, Opened up the radiator, Rusty yucky water came out, So I unhooked the lower rad hose, Flushed it with the hose, Cleaned it out really well, Hooked it back up, Filled it up with distilled water and coolant, Went into the truck turned the key....Nothing...Nothing at all no stereo no nothing, Got out checked main fuses all good, Battery 12.7 volts, fuses inside the truck all good, Ignition shows voltage, Wtf man, This is such crap If not one thing its another, I need to start driving this truck so I put less miles on my Nitro and saves me on gas as well, Anyone have any clues?

Do the lights on the dash turn on when you turn the key?

Oh something else weird, My turn signals stopped working, My headlights stopped working... The whole electronic system in the truck stopped, except my taillights, My l.e.d. brake lights still work... The only thing that works is that, Also, What was weird, Is my blinkers ALWAYS worked but blinked fast, now today they didnt work but my hazards did and they blinked normally, only other thing I did today was install the steering column plastics I got from todd, So help me guys please!

No, Literally nothing does

im sure youve done checked but any corrosion anywhere?

I don't remember if these trucks have a fusible link or a main fuse , but that might be your culprit. I think it is a main fuse up by the battery. Check those puppies out first. Should be like a 50A? Maybe when you put the plastics on you pinched the main wires going to the ignition sw or disconnected them as well. Good luck.

I checked those fuses its an 80 amp and last time I replaced it all I had was a 60amp which is still fine, All the fuses are good, And no corrosion I put new cables in. Im at a loss, and I doubt the pinced wire those ignition wires are super thick and I removed it to test voltage and theres voltage...Help!!

thats crazy man. youve already checked everything that i can think of. have you tried rolling the truck off to see what happens?

Have you checked the grounds on everything?
