Wire mod=Car won't start?
Wire mod=Car won't start? I just finished up the wire mod on my car about a day ago. Before I taped up the wires I checked to make sure that the car started,it did so I wrapped everything up nice.Now I ent to start the car and it won't turn over. Any help would be appreciated,I need to pick my hood up tomorrow,and I wanted to go to the track this Saturday.
I was under the impression that all the wires were for the front headlights and fog lights,i didn't know it had anything to do with the starter or the battery. Is it possible that I may have blown the fuse for the fuel pump,starter,ignition,etc.?

What is your car doing? No power at all? Popping fuses?I had my starter wire fall onto my headers once and it popped the ignition fuse and the car wouldn't start. It was grounding out and popping fuses as soon as I put them in. I found the wire, moved it and now the car is great. Good luck!

Turned out the zipties I had used to hold the wires in place had broken, and the wires had shifted over on top of the front spring. That big pothole broke the wiring harness and separated the two halves. I was able to plug the fragments back together, and the car started up just fine...so, long story short: there's more wires in there than just headlights & foglights...
It's always possible that you've blown a fuse though...
good luck...
PS: I no longer have the !wires mod on my car...
Thanks for all the help guys,I just got off of work, so i'm heading into the garage now to try and get her started.hopefully I can get it started today so I can go get my hood from the paint shop
