Evo Needs Some TLC

I recently just purchased an evo off of here and it has a few issues I need to attend to before it passes inspection. I will list them and any info/parts you guys can enlighten me with I'd appreciate.

-Driver's side window does not go down, all other windows work
-Blinkers do not work, there's no light or noise inside the car either. Nor do flashers
-Reverse lights do not light up
-Sunroof doesn't open and the cover is slid back won't come forward, makes a clicking noise when you try to open it
-Fog lights don't come on, might just be bulbs because they light up inside the car, has evo 9 headlights

Thank you for that. I did search around a bit and I found something about a reverse light switch for the reverse problem but I can't find any site that would have the switch for sale.

According to that guy, he got a new back up switch from RussellM (a listed vendor).

Might want to check out this thread too.

Reverse light switch on the trans is most likely your problem there.

Fogs might be just the bulbs.

Sunroof is as mentioned.

Blinker might be the hazzard/flasher relay

There is a stickied thread about a connector that has a bad weatherproof seal that controls those things. Lots of guys remove the connector all together and splice the wires directly together. Somewhere around the drivers feet or firewall I believe.

Alright well I believe the reverse light problem is probably the switch, I'll check the fuse today in case. Does anyone know what could be wrong with the drivers side window?

ok well to answer your first issue: my drivers side window didnt roll down for a little while either, ull need to remove the inside door panel theres a sticky here on how to. If it dont work at all, you might have a ****ed up wire like I did that doesnt give power to the connector therefore window dont work. As for blinkers not working, check your fuses under the kick panel left side of the clutch pedal, remove panel flip it over find relay or fuse for that check it make sure it works. Reverse lights should also have there own relay or fuse in there or under hood check there first to start. As for sunroof not working, first also check your relay to see if its getting power for that. Mine had broke when I bought it, replaced it worked, but didnt move, had to take down the headliner to find out the screws holding the do hickey up had fallen down therefore didnt move, as for fog lights they also have a fuse/relay check those. Check all that out and report back. good luck

I know. People tend to read something above their mechanical level and swear it isn't the problem because they can't fix it, and continue to ask for help.
