Let's play what is this

[puma]

Hey guys, i am a new member and as every time there is a new member, i will ask stupid questions.

I just sold my RX-7 TT and bought a 92 silver NSX that came from the USA, I am from Canada. The car i bought is a salvage and the last accident it had, there are a couple of things to fix so that i will be able to pass the inspection.

So if you are able to answer any of these questions, i would be gratefull. I heard good things about this forum.

My sub isn't working and my driver side speaker neither, while i was removing the dash, i found a couple of unplugged connectors, can anyone tell me what they are for.

By the way, sorry for the poor english.

this conector was unplugged, i plugged it but nothing changed, what is it?

 

[puma]

this connector was behind the radio, it seem to come from the radio harness

 

[puma]

For those i ain't sure but i beleive they are test connectors, can anyone confirm?

and last question, i read in the FAQ that there was problem with the spring in the gas door, mine has that problem, when i pull the switch, i need to pry the door for it to open but i see no spring, where is this spring suppose to be?

It's not actually a spring; it's a metal tab near the hinge edge of the door. When the door is closed, the tab applies just enough pressure to pop the door open when the latch is released.

You should really buy a service manual (you can buy one here) if you plan on trying to put the car back together yourself. It will answer a lot of your questions...

 

[puma]

well i am actually using the one online

i'll take a look at it

The first picture looks like the cable for the CD changer in the trunk. The other's I do not know.

If the first pic isn't for the cd changer, might it be for the antenna? I'm just guessing so don't shoot me for maybe sounding stupid, but i had another car once that the antenna cable was huge.

 

[puma]

i don't think it's for the antenna, too much connection.

was there a CD changer in 1992? I only have a cassette radio

It was/still is an option. All NSX sold here have this cable. The other end is in your trunk. I agree with SCS2k: cd-changer.

 

[puma]

ah ok, that's good to know, we answered two of the question, going well so far, what about the two other images?

anyone has a clue?

Oh and can i hook up the CD changer to my stereo cassette or would i have to change the deck too.

i suppose i must change the deck because i don't see any button that would make me switch or play CD...

 

[Ojas]

In your second pic, my guess is the aspirator fan (behind the little vents in front of the p-brake level). If not that, cigarette lighter?

Nope, the factory deck has everything you need (especially since the deck you have has a plug for a CD-changer ). Once you plug the cd-changer in the other end, you will be able to switch that input.

You can buy OEM cd-changer or an Alpine model (including a model that plays MP3s). To use Alpine (which is less expensive than OEM), you need to buy an inexpensive adapter to flip a couple pins in the line. To use the one that plays MP3s, you need another adapter. Do a search and look in the FAQ; you'll find everything you need.

For those i ain't sure but i beleive they are test connectors, can anyone confirm?

Take a look at the pictures on this page from in the FAQ. The blue is the service connector. I'm not sure what the white one is, but it looks like it's just suppose to hang there. The red looks like it connects to something.

ok, that's a pic i forgot to show, what does that little aspirator does?

when is it turned on?

 

[puma]

ok, forget it, i found what it was for

thanks
