Help!!

ok car is running... now i have one quick question before it goes on the road.. the back of the speed actuator has a hose that comes out of it, then it goes to a 3 way t looking splitter... now i ghave one that goes to the head and i have one end open and i dont know wat hose goes there all help is appreiciated...

only thing i can think of is you didnt hook something up check every connection again.

 

[boost fiend]

check all of your grounds. if your getting power, you might not have a good ground. maybe the battery is junk too.

 

[ts_MKIII]

well the thing is were not even getting a"click"

 

[GrimJack]

Sounds like the battery isn't hooked up yet? Or your battery is dead?

 

[ts_MKIII]

even if the battery was dead were hooking it up to a livce battery from a working car kind of a extension...

 

[boost fiend]

ground wire. maybe even a main fuse and/or relay. does anything electric run on the inside?

 

[ts_MKIII]

no sir. im getting any power any where

 

[ts_MKIII]

isude or out... i tested it NO HORN

 

[SupraMario]

open up the fuse panel and start pulling them babies and checkin them, also make sure they are the correct fuses.
dont use a 15a fuse where a 25a needs to go

 

[GrimJack]

Fuses are unlikely to be the issue here, if you get no power to the car at all, I'd check the ground strap from the battery first.

Get a multimeter, set it to 12v, check the battery. If that has power, check from the positive terminal to the frame. If that has power, check from the positive terminal to the engine. And so on, until you find where there is no more power.

ok heres wat i did.. the positve has 2 wires the one directly to the batt.. and to the side of the block as a ground.. then the neg has 3 not we have the main wire with the batt then i have a ground wire where do i put that???

 

[ts_MKIII]

so yah i had it then i think i blew a fuse... whcih fuse is most poccible to be blown in this case... du to a surge from the battery

 

[Wendigo]

Am I a tool for thinking that the neg post goes to the block for ground, Or did I sprinkle too much cinnamon crack on my cereal for dinner?

What's the voltage on the battery?
If the battery is flat dead, or shorted internally, even a jump won't work. Sounds strange, but that is the case. I've run into that problem on a friends car.
Try replacing the battery and not jumping it.
I'd also check the resistance at the battery cables to see that its not a direct short some where in your wiring.
You have an ohm meter?

On a side note, you should never jump a car these days. Especially if you have a new vehicle. The voltage fluctuation when the other guy starts his motor, or even worse, if he has a short, can damage the electronics (ECU and other stuff) in your car.
The old cars in the 60's or early 70's don't have a lot of sensitive electronics so it didn't matter.

thanks... well heres wat happened... i swithed the ground wire to it correct position.. and i got power cuz i heard the door ajar reminder sound. so i removed the ground to porperly fix the ground.. then dead no power... im so frustrated.. i check all the fuses and everything is fine... no blown fuses im just not getting any power.

 

[ts_MKIII]

some one help!!

 

[ts_MKIII]

no one knows??

OK
Here's my best shot.
Get an ohm meter.
Pull 30A fuse RTR from junction block #2

I believe it should have about 12V all the time (Ref. power line D in the TSRM schematic).
Use some caution when checking the voltage as its a direct line to the battery. So don't touch anything that you don't want to. If you short anything, you'll get some fireworks. Also make sure you are in a well ventellated area and the battery is well ventillated. Gas is omitted from the battery that can ignite if not well ventillated. But that should be normal operating procedures. So don't let this scare you.

If you don't have power there, its the main fuseable link at the battery.

Although I don't see how that can be if you get intermittent power ("so i removed the ground to porperly fix the ground.. then dead no power"). Unless you just blew a fuse when you hooked it up right.

One more thing, did you clean the terminals and the cable connection on the battery? If you have oxidation, you won't flow enough current from and to the battery to operate anything (in exteme cases).

Post the results.
