nzti325 Member 31 Member For: 6y 13d Gender: Male Location: Christchurch Posted 18/04/18 06:53 AM Share Posted 18/04/18 06:53 AM (edited) Ok....2007 XR6 turbo running fine. Sunny afternoon and I decide to install my new gauge pod. The car had a factory clock so I used the switched 12v and the ground from it. Ran two wires to the fuse box for the always on 12v and the lights. Plugged the 12v wire into the ACC relay and the lighting wire into the interior lights fuse. Everything looked good until I tried to start the car. Nothing. Dash lights come on and I have a message on the lcd about a error code. What I think is the immobiliser light is flashing. Ive searched and have tried disconnecting the battery, leaving the key on for 45minutes and replacing the interior lights fuse (which was not blown). My key fob does not work and the engine will not turn over. I've had the car only 8 days and I'm new to fuel injection eec's and the like so I'm a little over my head. HELP!

Wouldn't you want the gauges to light up with headlights, not interior lights?Not sure why you would need always on 12v by ACC wouldn't be the place to get that.I'd check all fuses too - I've had a fuse blow before when working on something unrelated. Learner from that to always disconnect the battery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pulled out the stock panel with the analog clock and spliced into the above mentioned cables. Can't find any blown fuses.

The 12v constant , ACC and earth can all come from the cell phone plug. The lights from the fog light switch. You have shorted something and blown a fuse or fusible link under the bonnet. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zpw2FJYCuMKbn_xpTbgBjodrt8VH5Qcb/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XCTCPCOy54Jfm-c-OqjW37XR5r5AJSdz/view?usp=sharing Edited 18/04/18 12:18 PM by arronm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now wont start what fuse was blown (which fuse did you replace) as I'm checking the fuses none look blown, so if you could point me in the right direction. that would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
