Right, I've just finished putting the plenum back together again and shoved a battery in it hoping to drive the bugger again! Only problem is the car isnt getting any power from the battery at all.

 

I've tried 3 batteries already one of them being brand new and tested before I shoved it in and yet no electrics! :cry: Could it be that one of the cables I could have plugged up in the wrong place that could be the problem? Also it has a Cat 2 immobiliser on it.

hi m8 don't know if it's this but at the back of the plenum there's 2 round plug connectors could be the wrong way round, did you mark them before you started? cos they will fit either

the positive should be on the lefthand side looking at engine with battery at righthand,

and off course make sure the earth is bolted to the body as well, if its ur immmobliser see if anything else works like interior light /side lights etc

Two connectors on the IAA valves? I guess I should swap those two around and see what happens, was really just plugging them in to which ever one it will reach to! I didnt really mark them when I did it which was quite stupid, will try it in the morning and see what happens!

Battery is definetly hooked up the right way around! There is absolutely no power going through the car at all! It's like as if it's got a dead battery installed! :cry: Which it doesnt! :mad:

Ther is no power anywhere? I'm thinking you can switch the interor light on with no ignition on, so with the battery connected try the interior light, or maybe the hazzards. If that doesnt work then something is hugely a miss. You've either blown a load of fuses or your electrical loop is broken probably by unconnected wires.

Are the alarm wires connected.

I've figured it out! After checking the connectors near the IAA where right it still didnt work. So I decided to follow all the power cables back from the battery and errmmm... found a connector that wasnt plugged in. :wack: Feel a bit stupid now for not checking every connector before I tried putting a battery in. :p

 

Now all I have to do is sort out the rough idle! :cry: One problem after another! :(

 

Thanks for the suggestions!
