Default Help with Raptor install

Installed on a 2000 Camaro SS M6. Green wire tapped into the #10 pin on the lower pcm. Red wire tapped into the pink wire on the ASR. Ground to screw under glove box (same as stated on InstallUniversity). Started to car up... and nothing. No flashing, nothing. I checked to make sure I had it on the right cylinder mode for the LS1 (4 cyl mode, down, up, down), and I had it set the opposite (up, down, up) so I switched it.

Started the car back up, and again, nothing.

I'm guessing that for whatever reason, the shift light isn't getting power. the wire taps I bought were for 18-22 gauge wire, and I ran 20 gauge wire from the wire taps to the shift light, connecting them with snap-locks. Is it possible that the taps aren't making a good contact? Should I find a better ground?

Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Matt

When you say "screw under glovebox" you mean the the grounding bolt on the door frame behind the right kick panel, right? Not a screw in the dash under the glovebox because that won't give you a good ground.

Yeah i would say to check your ground too. If that does not work then try and replace the snap connectors i have heard alot of people say that they have had problems with them.

I'm with the fellas on the better ground bit. You need screw to metal contact with the ground wire/ring/spade in between them.
