Street, make sure there are no breaks in the wiring and go over and retrace your work.

Is the control unit getting/sending power? Damaged in some way?

why is this in advance?

wont turn on is either power or ground. usually power, because if its ground then u would have burned all the wires when u key'ed on. given u checked all the fuses and tapped the right power wire.

sorry still figuring out the forum. i mainly stare at the dyno and for sale section. ive checked all the wires, redid the grounds. made sure that the sources tap for power were connected and then checked fuses

i just got them to work, the person intstalled them had sketchy wiring. i made sure each is on their own fuse and power and ground. the power is from the fuse box. i belive the wiper fuse is one of them. all work now and got my innovate wideband working =) and in the pocess of it all got my o2 sensor to somehow start working again
