ignition gremlins

Post by SubaruNation »

hey guys so i hope i can describe this whole thing OK,

over the weekend (now) i put some new sensors in my car so i could perfect my tune, and while i did that some line of power got nicked? or loose somehow, so basically my afr gauge and my blitz ebc do not get power at all when i turn the key to (on) , they do when i turn the key to (acc), except the power becomes ?intermittent? and will eventually cycle... like the accessories will all die then restart.

super weird and thats my description, if anyone can tell me which wire to look for or anything that might help that would be really helpful.

thanks!

Sounds like you may have a short.

Do you have an alarm system? It almost sounds like an alarm system is flashing parking lights when the alarm goes off.

What new sensors did you install? Where did you install them and what did you do with the wiring to hook them up?

so there was this solenoid looking thing that was where the clicking was coming from and it was a ground that had come off from the inside of the dash metal thing.

my car is all kinds of frankenstein so i was hoping it would have been an OEM thing but i did get it all figured out :)

thanks josh!
