Power Loss

Since this car is my DD im going to post before I search to see if anyone can give me an idea of whats wrong.

I have no power what so ever, nothing at all. I installed a battery relocation kit two weeks ago and everything has a good connection.

When I went to start it, I didnt let the injectors prime I just went to crank it over and it sounded like the starter was going but then just died. I went to fix it and everthing came back on and when I went to start it, once again clicked and...no power. Im not sure what to do except check my fuses

I think your power wire is not big enough. i had this same problem after my batt died. so i ran it to the trunk, but the first wire i got was not thick enough to cary the voltage/amps. get like 1/0 guage wire(monster cable )

Where is the ground? In the trunk or did you run the wire all the way back up front? Even though you have everything good and tight doesn't mean you are getting a good ground. I would start with that.

check your ground, check your ground, check your ground, check your ground, check your ground, check your ground, check your ground, check your ground, check your ground, check your ground, check your ground, check your ground, check your ground, check your ground, check your ground, check your ground, check your ground, check your ground.



try to keep it less than 2 feet in length.


another problem could be (as stated) not a big enough wire to cary adequate current.

Im also thinking its could be a power wire issue.
This is the kit I have:

make sure you have a BARE piece of metal for your ground, no painted surfaces.
