Hey guys. finally got everything hooked up on the swap today. Hooked up the battery (to what i think is correct) and they only thing that seems to be working is the door buzzer and high beams. when i put the ground wire onto the battery the wipers went on for a bit but I cant get them to go now. The alternator has no power going to it according to my tester. but i tested my IG2 on my harness and its getting power. so is the COR as well as the OBD2. I have no idea why the alternator isnt getting power and the ignition wont even crank as well. I was able to check the fuses in the box but not the 40a or 80a not sure how to do that. I have a single pin notch on my alternator wire that is getting power. but nothing else is. Any help would rock

 

But basically it wont crank over. the starter is getting power from the battery but im not sure how to test the signal wire if it has to be on crank do i just turn it over all the want and try and see if the voltmeter llights up?

 

Have you verified all your grounds? There should be one large ground that goes to the block under your oil filter as well as one off of the back passenger side of the block that goes to your firewall which is like 14ga or something then you should have another ground that comes off of the fuel injector harness that grounds to the upper intake manifold on the driver side.

 

Actually no, i did notice the one on the back of the passenger side. but wasnt sure where it pluged to. The only things i have grounded is my batter to my body and block as well as the ground for OBD2. But is there pictures somewhere so i can put a image to what youre saying?

 

Uhhhh it's too dark out for a pic. If that one ground your talking about is the one with the connector that goes kinda behind the motor and bolts to the firewall that should just plug into the same looking wire with a connector on it that bolts to the back of the motor. Just connect the two.

 

I just had the same problem today firing mine up and it was a ground!! Had me stumped for a while because I got about half a crank out of the starter before everything ˟˟˟˟ off. First thought was I just blew the main relay. After some quick tests it was a ground cone toon at the battery.

 

A ground at the battery is what that's supposed to say. Dang phone anyway

 

When it's light enough think you can? My ground in the back passenger side isn't a plug in type just a circle ground. Van I just screw it to the body?

 

Can't seem yo find the oil filter one. It's the injector one the set of 5 ground wires or so that's coming out with the diag plug?

 

I will see if i can get you pics of all the grounds i am referring to, tonight at like 6pm. Ya those grounds that are near the diagnosis plug. and that is interesting about the ground under your oil filter. I wouldn't go putting holes in your firewall just yet. I will try and get pics tonight

 

awesome thanks man. i have 5 plugs that i have no idea where they go as well. heres some pics

 

1st pic: That blue connector im pretty sure is for a vacuum switching valve (VSV) or something.....how long is that harness? Cause the black connector your holding may be for your Cruise Control (CC) and the shortest black one looks like a 3-pin???? also, the ground by the diagnosis plug is grounded, i can see it in the pic

2nd pic: the gray connector I THINK is for A/C. and that black connector......shoot heck if i know without lookin at my rig haha. but look around and look for anything that it may go to (if you haven't already of course)

and while your out and about taking pics, might as well snap one of the back side where that ground is that only has a round terminal on the end of it.

also it may be helpful to snap one of the side of the block around/near/below the oil filter

 

also, click the link to my swap thread under my "signature" and scroll down to like the 13th picture where i've bolted the crossover to the motor and look at the passenger head and see the the black wire thats grounded to the head with a connector on the end of it? do you got anything that looks like that back there?

 

These 3 look like the ones for the Evap VSVs and pressure sensor; these can be verified in the 5VZ Engine Control section of the EWD, look through the plug pictures on the last 2 pages (I think they're V1, V7, and V8).

No idea on the other 2 in the second picture.

Edit: Austin beat me to it

 

Yes I do have that wire, I thought it was the one that's supposed to be connected to the firewall. I'll get those other pics asap to. I thought those three plugs might be fur evap

 

heres those pics tho.

 

Also i just tested my fuses in the cab with the key on ON position and only the IGN was getting power to it. What might that be?

 

Uhhh I have no idea man about the IGN only getting power :-/ SacRunner is a great person to have reading this thread cause he know's alot more then i do lol. It looks like that is the ground wire that is under your oil filter, it just has a rubber boot covering the contact points (wish i had that boot)

 

That is actually My ground I made to my block for my battery.

 

Thanks, I thought that's what it might be. You have any idea why my inside fuse box might only be getting power to ign?
