    Gah no power!

    Not getting power to my engine when I try to start, I dont get anything to light up at all, no leds, no door dinger, nothing. I think it these wires here, check this out Wanna make sure im hooking these up right

    This comes out of the body and tests as a +12volts, should go onto the + terminal on the passenger side firewall right?




    Then we got this for the main 12volt lead to the terminals again



    This looks like the ground to the shock tower?



    And these are the 2 confusing ones, they run to the fuse box



    The left one tests as a ground but the right one tests as nothing, I tried hooking it as a ground and +12, nothing on either try (yeah I know that was bad idea)

    Any ideas?[/img]

    Wire you are holding is the constant 12 volt to power the ECU


    Big wire is right off your battery constant 12 volts, the Large red wire running from your starter should connect right to it


    Both those wires are the power supply to the fuse box, they Should be hooked to the Main battery wire

    Not to sure about that other wire(what color is it under the insluation?)

        I'm guessing you're missing one ground wire, and i Bet its the third one thats tucked behind your hand.
