Question Help! Multiple issues??

started tuning my squirt the other day (its an MS2 with PCB3) and because i don't have a stimulator and the harness was already in the car i just used the cars power to turn it on while tuning, well while i was setting all of the perimeters all of the warning lights came on (see picture). I didn't know what was going on so i just finished up and tried to start it, noticed i had no RPMs on the tach in the car or on the laptop, so i took the cover off of the harness connector at the squirt to check connections, everything looked fine, i plugged it back in and tried again, but now i cant connect to the megasquirt, all 3 of the LED's light up and stay on, and the fuel pump cycles 3-4 times

WHAT DID I DO?? ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED

So this is a complete new install?

I hope you had the ignition coils disconnected while setting up the ECU!

The pump is cycling because there is an error in your config. Reload the firmware and start over.

I was going to say that... but I figured everyone knew that.

If they're on when the engine is running, that could be a sign of a jacked alternator.

When my pump was cycling on/of 3-4 times, I found out that my dumb *** forgot to put a diode across the e-fan. Blew a transistor.

Yep, on a stock car, it means that the alt is bad. It's either that or you have some messed up wiring.
