Alright I rebuilt my ka24de s13 and took the dash out and engine out along with the engine harness only. since I put the engine and harness back in I have been having trouble after trouble. well one i believe my ignition switch is shot, the oil light and the safety belt light is on with the key out. second problem is the starter relay not sure about a couple of the plugs some be swapped. but when i turn my key i get a click when I turn it but its inside the cabin. now im getting fuel to the rail and i wanted to know which ones is the return and the inlet top is where i have my pressure going to. and as for the starter 12v signal wire there are two yellow and black wires, is it the heavier guage wire? also my flip up lights are stuck up. Help I am a newb with this chasis,

THe return fuel lines would be from the top and bottom incoming.. What do you meant heavier gauge wire? IF you flip light are stuck up then you probably have bad motor, fuse, relay or it not getting power..

Linux2501

AS a heavier guage wire as in thicker with a black and yellow stripe what color wires go into the starter relay?

kennedy8383

IT look like 8 gauge to me not 10 gauge..

Linux2501

What would be the possibility of the wrong wire going to the signal cable and how would I know if my starter relay is bad?

kennedy8383

IF you don't hear the relay clicking not it meant it not working or you can try testing them but you will have to google how-tos on that.. Are you tryng to connec the yellow and black wire or something to the relay??

Linux2501

No I'm trying to trace down a problem there is the starter relay that's blue under the fender I'm trying to figure out where everything goes and if its bad and so on

JDMRIDDAZ

if ur dash lights r on w key out the u have bad battery terminals
replaced them at once if there done the u have a bad ground to battery or to chassis

I've checked them any other suggestions? But its every now and then

kennedy8383

You might have forget to connect a wiring some where under the dash or engine bay or you might have connected wiring wrog. Have you try checking to see if the starter connected correctly. CHeck those carefully and ground wire. If you hear click while turning the engine then check the ignition wiring properly and check to see if the clutch pedal switch are o.k

Linux2501

Alright Its and auto, the trans is hooked up to the correct wires, and I arced the alternator wire to the frame I have my ground to the engine and the frame, how can I check that starter relay under the fender by the battery and is there a ground on the starter and also is there a way to find out what wires come out of the relay box,?

kennedy8383

Yes i think there a ground for the starter relay right by starter.. The fuse box that beside the battery didn't mention about the starter relal. I thnk there an interlock relay beside the battery and might be for the auto tranmission for 240sx and sometime goes bad.. Maybe if google it up it might help. THe fuse box beside the battery contain fuel pump green , headlamp gray , and condenser fan relay blue, and e.c.c.s relay green.

Linux2501

Alright so on a side not what all do I need (bare minimum) for the engine bay I've taken the blower and the heater core off. What all do I not need? Sorry for all the questions I'm new to these cars.

kennedy8383

THe right side fuse box contain

accessory relay 2 - blue
inhibitor relay a/t medel with a.s.c.d black
clutch relay m/t with super hicas black
a/c relay blue

4 other relay are headlamp relay and horn relay but i didn't think those are important..

kennedy8383

THere nothing wrong taken the blower out but you need to keep the heater core that connect to the fire wall to the engine behind..

Linux2501

May I ask why?

kennedy8383

I have taken my blower out to tuck my brake line and weight but the heater core need to be there because there coolant that goes in there to the engine..

Linux2501

I did the procedure I did with my 3000gt and removed the AC pump lines, cooler and everything else. And route the lines coming from the core and recirculate it,

kennedy8383

Everything can be remove for the a/c but not the heater core behind the firewall..

Linux2501

Well damn, I'm not near my car atm but isn't that he box with the two aluminum threaded fittings on it?

kennedy8383

Those 2 fitting goes to the engine with the hoses.. I thought you have electrical problem now coolant??

Linux2501

It is an electial problem because I cannot get this car to start and a result of me stripping the car of uneeded weight I took out the blower and core and other items

JDMRIDDAZ

jump starter to see if it turns over then back track from there

JDMRIDDAZ

wheres the battery?
front or rear
if in rear do have a ground running from batt ground to engine

No alarm and its in the front of the car

Linux2501

Also how do u make a kaa20det?

Linux2501

Alright my s13 dohc auto will not start im trying to trace things down but sadly im having to test everything by myself. but anyway on the fsm it says white/ b/w and on e 12 it says b/w and b/y and im not sure exactly yes i know it means black and white and black and yellow but on the starter relay im confused on if it has the right wires going to it. here are the images. also im wanting to make sure this is the right wire going to the starter 12v signal wi

kennedy8383

Do you have DMM. Get it and test it and see the relay getting voltage. DId the car work before when you pull everythings out? You might have forget to connect something somewhere...

Linux2501

It ran before I threw a rode through the block
