Iceman Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 You might have your hot wire connected to the wrong lead on the ignition switch. You might want to edit your title to something like "no power through new ignition switch". That might get you some more hits (and less "dont say just "please help me"" hits ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big-phil Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Do you have no power at all? If you turn on your headlight do they come on? Or just no power when you turn the key? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J240ZTurbo Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 all I did was cut and re install it back to color matching cables. What are those two little green cables hanging from the side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big-phil Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 do you have a test light? try checking wires to see if any of them have power. Check fuses, and fusible links under the hood!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J240ZTurbo Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 what are the two little green cables for coming from the side of the ignition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayZee Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Not 100% sure but I think the two small greens is for those annoying buzzers that tell you that your key is in the ignition/seatbelt not on. I do know they aren't that important. The important ones are: BATT ACC IGN START RUN (all this one does is tell the ecu to enrichen the mixture during startup) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
