I just stripped down main wiring harness and now my PFC commander doesnt come on

When i say strip down, what i did was just unwrap the entire harness and all the pulgs i no longer used i pulled the pins out. When i turn the car on to teh aux position the screen will flicker but you cant make anything out and then has no pictureat all. When you go to turn the car off, on the way to the off position the sreen will come on long enough that you can read the Apex'i screen but then goes off. I havnt had to much time to go though the wiring diagrams but i was just wondering if anyone has any ideas were to look first. Like what pins to check to make sure the ecu it getting power and so on.

Thanks
~Luke

Does anything off that harness control the PFC coming on? I would think that the other harnesses under the dash would control that.

If you can read Japanese, you might be able to find it here...

It's not FD specific, but I bet that the power leads and other general connections are the same across the board.

I would also imagine that you'd ba able to visually determine what are the power/ground leads to it. I'd say grab a multimeter, but I'm sure that there are several 12v sources.

When i put the main harness in I was just getting it ready for re taping but i just wanted to see where the lines needed to come out and i had forgoten to hook up the 2 grounds on the main harness. Now everything works great so far.
