I need to have my windows fixed under the 10yr/ 100k and I went to take off my ground wire kit and my CAI, everything went fine until I tried to start it.

Radio works, headlights, etc. but when in the ignition position the car just clicks and the dash lights flash.

WTF is that?

I have the battery in the car now sitting with the negative terminal disconnected. Im hoping that a resetting of the ECU is all it needs. Any thoughts? The only other I change I made was putting a TST sticker on the rear glass of my car, could that be why it wont start?

TST decals have been know to destroy cars. Be careful.

Seriously though, if it's clicking check the connections at the battery and make sure it's fully charged.

Yep, tried jumping it, tried taking the cables off the terminals and tightening them already.

I really think its the decal lol.

make sure all the stock grounds are connected properly that will make it click

Theres only one

Does the ecu sense that I removed the ground wire kit or something?

teh DIRT · 07-01-2006, 08:28 PM

theres more than one ground. did you plug your maf sensor back in?

Drftpretty · 07-01-2006, 10:46 PM

Yepper, I didnt even unplug the MAF sensor.

if you can only find one ground that might be the problem, possibly one or more is missing?

or your not looking in the right spots?

Starter doesn't really have a ground wire on it. It should have a B+ wire on it. The case itself is grounded to the transmission which is grounded to the block, which SHOULD have a ground wire on it.

Drftpretty · 07-02-2006, 08:13 PM
