checked your fuses?

yes I have. there are some Plugs from the fuse box right next to the battery that dont plug up. Could that be the problem?

If anyone wants to make some extra money i will pay to get it fixed.

did you swap in a manual or automatic? if you did the manual swap you either have to search for the auto to manual wiring guide online find out which wires are which for the sohc and dohc wiring harnesses and get them wired correctly. Or go find a dohc s13 entire front harness (puta to pull out and put in)

the wires I'm talking about are all the ones that go down by the fuse box

if you have done all that already and still nothing idk.. could be electrical issue with the car or something isn't connected right

Did you use a dohc Harness? did you rewire it? DOHC Ecu? Where r you located. Ill look for you. LMK PM Me
 
if its auto or manual couldn't you just detach the lower harness and try to start it???????

get a digital multimeter and start reading where you're getting power and where you are not.
 
Yeah it was an auto to manual swap too. I used a full dohc harness and a dohc lower dohc harness, but all I wired was the plug to the body harness.

I wasent aware there was more wiring for the auto to manual. >_<
 
yea, you gotta loop the auto nuetral safety switch and some other BS.. theres a writeup somewhere around the internet search for it
 
Thanks for all the help! I finally figured it out!

You guys failed to mention the small red box that goes on the positive terminal where two plugs go. Lol. Got one on there and the car is excellent.

Also had to loop the auto switch.

Thanks again guys!
