Ok so the car has been working and starting flawlessly. I wired my type x tails to both turn on correctly and the car still started after that. Went to the store, came back home, and bammmm 1/2 hour later I wanted to go out and no start.

There is no power going to the solenoid because nothing happens. No clicking and certainly no crancking.

I assumed that it may have been due to the immobilizer and so I removed it. I plugged in the starter lines back together and still nothing.

I dont want to splice anything else so Id like to know. Is there a way to go direct and skip any specific process to start the car?

Or if anyone has any advice I would appreciate it. Thanks

Check your fuses, the ones located under the hood on the passenger side. Check if any of the fuses are blown. I had a similar issue happen about 2 weeks ago and I had a blown fuse, it was a 30A fuse iirc. A green boxed one. If its blown you'll be able to see it because the little metal strip in the fuse we be broken apart.

Yea i checked the fuses and that 30 amp fuse is still good. I noticed that when I turn the key the cluster just blinks or fades a little. But no crank or click.

Well I push started it and it ran no problem. So thats when I figured it was the immobilizer. But I removed it and Im not certain if it could be the relay switch as I hear that click.

But I dont hear the solenoid clicking. Sorry I didnt mention that btw.

you and i are having the same problem. i was thinking that it may be a bad ground or the solenoid is dead.

lmao i was going to do the same thing but i decided ill do that as a last resort kind of thing. Anyways i found this on the forums and i think it could help. i forgot who said it but check all the ground wires from the battery and from relay box (passenger side, or both idk)to make sure they are all secure. if i have time im going to give this a shot when i get home from work.

oh heres a link to the thread if you didnt see it already:http://zilvia.net/f/tech-talk/224248-starting-problem-wtf.html

ok i figured out why it doesnt start. if you click on the url i posted above click on the middle pic near the bottom. there is a flat pin that you clip in along with the power. i believe that tells the starter to turn on but for some reason its not getting the signal. so i rigged a switch to it just for temporary use so i can easily move it when i need to. so how can i get that thing back in working order.
thanks in advance
