i did a c4 swap from the stock aode (i kept the neutral saftey switch an stock harness just zip tied the switch under the car)

i also put the battery in the trunk i connected the battery to the fuse box and a wire from the starter to the fuse box am i forgetting something??? the starter makes a noise when you turn the key but the engine doesnt turnover

are you sure that you have a good ground coming off the battery to the frame?

[bretts95gt]

i got it under my passenger side amp (its a convertable and the amps are bolted to the floor) i took it back off and sanded the paint off were the connection is still no luck


the starter does make a noise it makes a tick when i turn the key to start an 3 fast clicks when i return the key to the run??? i dont have the sparkplug wires an stuff like that connected yet could that make the car not turnover (im not trying to get it to run i just want to kno it turns over)

should i rerun the battery to frame to the quad shock mount bolt?? ive heard alot of people do that

I dont understand the fuse box part, I have like a 2 guage or 4 guage wire running from the trunk to where the battery wire use to connect under the hood. And you have to have a good battery thats a long run.

this is where I ran my ground to. I dont have the quad shocks on anymore so i cleaned the paint off where one of the bolts where and mounted it there.

its a bolt that sticks out the side of the fuse box thats under the hood (starter selonoid i think) i have everything connected there

[bretts95gt]

somebody told me to run the wire that went to the battery (the smaller gauge wire) to the starter selonoid or whatever it is on the side of my fuse box is that right???? or should i have 2 wires running back to the battery???

Just one large wire from the back, I got battery wire to side of fuse holder, Starter wire and a alternator wire, all connected together.

THis is what i did. i ran my cable from the battery to the starter. And I took the original batter cable, cut the terminal end off, put a regular ring terminal on it and connected it to the post on the fuse box.

yeah thats what mine is i guess its just a bad ground somewhere

[bretts95gt]

ok so today i took a look at the starter and messed around moved some wires wigled the ends....went to crank it up and some computer thing by the overflow tank started ticking like a alarm clock!!!....then i smelt smoke....what is goin on....?

[bretts95gt]

this is whats confusing me its got a power an a ground on the starter....what wire tells the starter to turn over???? the little black wire (ground) an the red (power)...then its a wire going to the larger part of the starter???? im lost

[bretts95gt]

this is how the starter is now (i ran the battery to it first) and this is the thing that is ticking its some kind of computer that was bolted right beside the overflow tank

you should have just unhooked the positive wire from your battery and wherever it connected on the other side and replaced it with a longer cable to reach your new destination. then run a good ground. It sounds like you ran that positive line somewhere it doesnt belong and fried some shit my friend. I can tell without looking to see what you have done but it doesnt sound too good. Post some other pics if you can and good luck

[bretts95gt]

thats what i did at first just ran a longer line to the battery.my buddys 94 mustang had to replace that computer he said it wouldnt turn over or anything. then i tried what smsperfomance did...maybe it got enough power to let the computer turn on or something but im gona replace the computer and put the battery back where it was before and just let a speedshop do the relocation

[bretts95gt]

found out its the constant control relay module. its ticking really fast almost like a alarm clock prob a relay popped when i started wigling wires to make sure it didnt have a loose connection or something....idk.....im not great with electronics at all
