The airbags are off the car. The cluster comes up with the a lightning circuit symbol failure sign.

Any pointers appreciated.
Pointer Number 1: Tell us what you're driving. Until then revealing from which car you're pulling parts doesn't help us.

Apologies. I have a face lift late 02 (MY03) 2.7 986 manual. Alarm module and keys programmed to the car. DME 7.8.

New loom is off a more basic 03 car without PSM.

Yes, without saying what car is being worked on, Jaybu02 is not making it easy to help. I took an extra minute to see what the car is and it appears to be a 2003 base model w/manual transmission.



With that info, the wring harness from a 2003 being installed makes sense. The problem is most likely an error or missed connection in how it was installed.

Troubleshoot.
Trace the power from the source to where it is supposed to go.
Check continuity of grounds.
...stuff like that.

That's great. Resourceful. That means I'm up an extra minute.

Thank you for the reply appreciated. Power comes in to the power distributer. Then goes to the relays? Fuses all ok, with battery voltage showing. I get a sort of lightning sign on the dash, which I guess indicates electrics failure.
