    Car done, no start?

    Alright i finished uninstalling all the turbo shit, including resoldering the orignal wiring harness (took the SMT-6 off).

    The radio is not coming on either, but all the accesories, the check panel, the instrument cluster, the headlights and shit work.

      I suppose you've tested the battery first, right?

        Check to make sure you have the Black/Yellow wire connected correctly to the Starter.

          would all the accessories come on and the headlights, and the windows roll up normally if the battery was dead? If it has enough power to turn on all that shit, i would be surprised if it didnt have enough to merely turn the starter once or twice.



          nonetheless, i will check it with a multimeter in the morningg


          edit: I stand corrected.
