Check your bulbs...they could be burnt out? Lol.
If not, meter the wires. I just had a little problem when I plugged the harnesses back in, every time I'd hit the brakes the reverse lights would come on. Not very good, but I ended up fixing it.
Definitely meter the wires to see whats going on. Oh yeah, but check the bulbs first.

well, currently, im spending money on a 5 speed, which i believe is a little more important than c/o's im selling my guitar, and seein if i can get a deal somwhere on some megans. i should have the money for a 5 speed soon, maybe this weekend, or this wednesday. im junkyard shopping tomorrow for a s14,hopefully with abs/lsd drive shafts and a manual. im also grabbing the radio trim and the power window motors, along with tail light assemblies. hopefully i can get everything i need for a decent price, gotta love wisconsin. then the rest of my money +guitar money is going directly to coils. i hope to have coils before summer, and this summer work for either a nice NA build or a KAT build, along with an aero. wow thats long.

I'm not going to lie, all-motor is really really nice. I'd love to have the instant power and response, not to mention the reliability of an N/A motor. The only reason that I chose to go forced induction was because:
1) Money wise, it's cheaper to make more power with boost.
2) Power can be added easily by replacing the turbo, or just adding more boost!
3) Availibility of aftermarket turbo parts.
4) Front mount intercoolers and BOV's look and sound sweet as hell! Haha
I guess it's going to depend on where you stand financially. An all-motor project would be amazing, but cost wise, I believe it's definitely more expensive, and the power gains aren't going to be as substancial without changing core components (i.e. - more aggressive cams, pistons, valves, retainers).
While I understand that boosted cars making 300-400whp and up would require beefed up internals, on a stock motor you can easily reach 200whp on 10-12lbs of boost(turbo dependant).
Let us know what you do! Us KA-T guys can help if you plan to boost, haha!

NA setups cost the most do to procedures such as blue printing etc.
na is sweet sounding but i prefer boost. also lots of guys think every turbo has lag..
thats why i have and will always have smaller turbos, im not in it for High end HP.

Airman Jackson, you could just pummel other guys if they say otherwise about your setup!!!
If your not going for racecar HP#s you could keep things NA, its just a lil more difficult than peicing together a turbo kit and pumping the boost up.

this may be stupid, but could you intercool a NA? like one with ITB's, a plenum (thats the thing that connects them all to one intake right?) then pipe up a fmic, with the filter right at the intake end of the intercooler??
