What am I doing wrong w/ my wiring Ok guys, I am a little frustrated here and just about to give up....
Here is what I have, everything from Nitrous Outlet:
Plate system, trick window switch, FPSS, ash try switch panel, and purge.
Things I have done that may be messed up:
Spliced into blue TPS wire
Spliced into light blue coil pack harness for RPM
spliced into factory ash tray light for "keyed 12 volt source"
There is no power going to the box, and yes my parking lights are on when I try. I cannot even get the purge to hit, which is wired up through the relay.
I have been messing with this thing for what seems like forever, I am by no means electrically incline, and looking at 3 different diagrams and trying to figure out how to get them to work together gave me a headache.
Thank you for any help

First thing we have to get power to the switch and then to the window switch.
The tps input blue wire will connect to your blue wire at the TPS sensor.
The rpm input I would recommend using the green wire white tracer on the passenger side coil pack plug.
If you spliced into the ash tray wire does that wire have power on it. You start at one point and work your way throu each power. Power first, if all the powers are going coming in and going out, and nothing is lighting up, then check your grounds.
Do not look at all the wires together, take one wire at a time.

Thank you for the help. I have the tach wire wired to the driver's side right now, but I am guessing that is wrong.
I have power going to the switch. The relays are wired directly off of the fuze box, and the keyed 12 volt source is the good when the parking lights are on. I have to check the grounds for the relay and trick window switch, they are on the frame. The ground for the switch is the ground wire for the ash tray light.
I did origionally have the relays wired wrong - is it possible they are bad now?

Any idea if the TCS wire will work if I have the TCS off/ABS INOP due to 3 chanel rear in what was origionally a 4 channel?
I will fix the tach wire, thank you for the tip.

My car doesn't have traction control...but they are all prewired for it. As long as you didn't strip the wires out of the harness, it will still work 
Some of my systems grounds are around the shifter area, I took out my center console..lots of good spots...I grounded my window switch to the solenoid mounting bracket. There are 2 holes on the passenger side strut tower...I just tapped one and an old header bolt went right in! Bolted the bracket down and used it as a ground also.
The ground for my relay goes to the ground already on the passenger side strut tower also.
Everything is working fine for me setup like this.
I still need to add some more wire loom to make it more clean, but here is a pic..
