Ok I have a 95 VX 5SPD that I swapped an EX motor into. I have done all the necessary rigging for the EX ECU to work properly and for the O2 sensor to work as well. Last week I parked the car on a Thursday evening, didn't need to go anywhere in it until Sunday morning when, to my dismay, it wouldn't start, it wouldn't even try, meaning the starter wasn't working. So I decided to pop it like I've done many times before. It's a light car and I can do this by myself. I figured the battery was dead or maybe the starter was bad but I'd deal with that later. After trying a few times to pop it I noticed that the normal dash lights (Oil Light, Battery Light, and Check Engine Light) weren't on when I turned the key to on and not start. The only light on was the Brake light (for the E-Brake), however, the hand brake wasn't pulled and the car was in neutral. I checked the Main Relay, the Starter Cut Out Relay, and the Clutch Switch. All these seem to be working fine. I was getting frustrated and while holding the key in the start position started kicking the clutch pedal, and for one second the normal lights came back on on the dash but just as quickly as they appeared they vanished and haven't returned since. Also, while I was ckecking out some of the wiring under the hood a friend was in the car and when I told him to try and start it I noticed that the radiator fan came on but only when the key is in the start position. I will be pulling the starter out tomorrow and getting that along with the battery checked but I wanted to know if anyone else had ever seen this whacky electrical problem. Oh yeah, would the ICU have anything to do with this since it's on of a few components that I know little about. Any information would be very helpful and I hope to have the beast running again soon, just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing all sorts of extra hunting if someone else knows whats wrong. Thanks in advance.
