ah ok i thought maybe it could be the switch but i was not sure since it still cranked and there was somewhat power. But thats a good place to start.

Already checked all the fusible links and they are all good to go but still no power or spark when it cranks, all that happens is the starter runs. none of the accessories come on and there is no spark.

Its something like that. my brat came from a junk yard and was really unloved i have never had it started before so i am just going foward step by step its tricky. Yeah there is now power without that jumper wire i have worked on subies for a long time and this is just some whole new kind of thing i have never seen before!

I have a 1984 subaru brat. Rebuilt engine, new distributor, new coil pretty much all new. No matter what i do when i turn the key i get no interior power.... The thing cranks with no spark and all that works is my hazard lights! If i run a jumper wire from the + on the battery to the + on the coil i have power on everything and weak spark and not the full voltage i need, and the power is constant even when the key is off EVERYTHING stays illuminated and on inside. Could someone please tell me what i need to look for here? i am completely out of ideas. I know its gotta be a wiring problem but i just dont know where to begin. Second question. What is the yellow and white wire that runs from the coil to the computer, whats its purpose? Thanks in advance

Been trying to get a brat going i got a few months back. The ignition wiring is a mess and i am really at the end of trying to do it blind. I was hoping someone could explain where the important wires run and what color they are. So far the only way i have been able to get the thing to turn over is to run a jumper wire from the + on the battery to the coil.... But then everything has constant voltage..... until i remove the wire then i cant get anything. Any advice would be appreciated
