I just completed my turbo swap, yanked the ACV, put on the cover plate's, blah blah blah. So I go to fire it up...and I got nothing. I can't use anything electrical in the car at all. Light's, radio, whatever. It's not the battery because I just checked it. I'm guessing this has to be a main fuse somewhere? Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, any little bit of help is greatly appreciated. The car has been on jackstands for about 4 or 5 days if that would make any sort of difference.

 

Make sure it grounded correctly. When I installed a new starter and battery cables, I added two new grounds to different spots on the car.

 

alright I'll go back over everything. Where should the grounds be as of now?

 

Start with the fuses - check the ones on the driver's side shock tower first.

well the main fuse is a dark brown color in comparison to the other fuses. But I'm not sure what a blown fuse should look like. Also the main fuse (3 away from the EGI fuse) doesn't come out like the other ones do. Is there some special place to release it? It's gotta be a fuse. Where can I get some replacement fuses? gaaaaaaaaaaah. Just frustrated, I appreciate all the help you guys can give

 

Pop the little plastic covers off the tops - you'll see a piece of wire in the center.&nbsp If it's melted, the fuse is blown.

The large fuse in the "center" is bolted in.&nbsp You need to remove the fuse holder and then pop the flaps off on either side to access the bolt holding it in - then it'll come right out.&nbsp Be sure to disconnect the battery before doing this!

ok well I feel like the biggest idiot in the world but everyone go ahead and laugh battery was dead. It was a week old but... I think I left one of my doors slightly open so the interior light was on for like 5 days in a row. Well everything is back to normal now except:
1. I iddle at 2300....where can I adjust the iddle (I added on my custom TID so there is a lot more air flowing)
2. My low coolant dummy light and the buzzer comes on after about 10 seconds....my coolant is fine. I'm guessing there is a sensor for this somewhere that is bugged up....any help on where I can find it?

iother then that the turbo swap and TID went great...albeit it took about 1 week longer then expected lmao. I learned a LOT in the process though, and replaced all the hoses I could.
