bre2ts Posted June 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Thanks James I figured it out before your post it was quite obvious had a brain fart there. After further trouble shooting I realized my constant (yellow) had no power going through it so I ran some wire straight from the batt to my constant and voila it worked. I could of sworn I checked all the fuses but I went back and rechecked and found the culprit and the problem.

AI James Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 i figured the 12v on the meter was you measuring the yellow constant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bre2ts Posted June 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 i figured the 12v on the meter was you measuring the yellow constant. yea i had a major brain fart this morning trying to figure this out... idk what happened but glad i eventually smartened back up. i do complex wiring at work almost every day, troubleshooting, tracing and rewiring of aircraft equipment but yet this morning i was an idiot. being on leave is getting to me Quote Feedback 1 | Feedback 2 you win some, you lose some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supercharged DCs Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 I was going to suggest checking your fuses, but I figured you were experienced enough to have done that already. Oh well, we all have our brain farts Quote Bassless once again. Can't seem to keep a system for more than a few weeks Saving for a '06 Nissan 350z, look for build around June 2012.
