choke light going nuts, bad mpg
So my choke light has been coming on now for about a week and it stays on and flickers like crazy. It first started while i was driving home one day, I had the radio on and all of a sudden it just cut out and stopped working completely and my choke light came on. I looked at the choke and found the wire had disconnected. I re attached the wire but it didnt change anything. Since then i had the alternator replaced because it was going bad but still no change with the choke light. My radio still hasnt worked either which really sucks. i dont know what to do about it

The choke light is still on after you connected the wire and replaced the alternator? Check the choke heater fuse and choke heater relay.

Re: choke light going nuts, bad mpg
yeah that's what i figured it would be but i cant locate the right fuse. it looks like the wiring underneath has been messed around with quite a bit which frustrates me because of these issues i'm having. My fuse box is missing fuses as well, it doesn't look correct to me
