Both of your answers were spot on our battery had a weak cell in it and could not activate the car at all checked it with another battery and it fired right up. Just another thing is the white wires on the tail lights the reverse lights? and what is the secret of hooking up the gas gauge I got a new sending unit and a new gauge and i still cant make the gauge say full! (lucky the gas tank is where it is because right now my gauge is a dowell!)
