I don't have a wiring diagram for your car but check around the battery pos. terminal also the starter solenoid area for wires that may look a bit funky they will say "fuseable link" on them just pull on them one at a time, if one stretches apart replace it with the same size link. You can't solder fuse links use butt Connectors. I hope this helps, take care.
