need help,,starter wire LS1 TO A 2000 s10 just helped my buddy swap a LS1 motor in his 2000 S10 he is using a standalone wiring harness but I know I still have to get power from the key switch to start it,,,I need help on this,,,I took the purple wire coming from out of the under hood fuse box,,but cant get and power on it with the key turned to start,,,thanks for any help
Did you tie into the stock fuse block for ignition power to the stand alone harness? I would have made an effort to ensure that I didn't alter that circuit during the swap. It sounds like you may have scavenged an ignition feed somewhere for the stand alone harness.

I used the purple wire but I also used the big reddish pink wire hooked straight to the battery to power everything up also I messed up once and even tho I don't use stock shifter it wasn't in park and wouldn't start so make sure collum is in park pink wire battery purple wire to starter also double check all grounds are good
