JB3 Install Help

egon10psi · 05-18-2009, 05:48 PM

Ok so i am pretty sure i have everything hooked up right. But i ran into a few problems.

I CAN NOT get the slider clips back in are these completely necessary????

Also when i hooked the last wire back up the car started buzzing under the engine bay??? I left the car sleep for 20 minutes and my key is nowhere near the car.

Hope i didnt Fck nothing up

buzzing noise is not good...one of the wires or connectors are in the wrong slots, or the PNP are not aligned correctly...I would email Terry or Mike for some help

well yeah i notices that one was not plugged in right so i fixed it and the noise went away. All noises are gone all the wires are plugged up and tight. As long as you absoluteley do not need the sliders in i will try to drive it

the sliders that go on the plastic harness? yes they should slide and clip in all the way. If they don't then you have a wire in the way, maybe loose or something.

???The sliders hold and lock the connecters to the ECU. You NEED the sliders. Well I guess it will probably run for a little while but I would think over time the connectors would work them selves loose. Only one slider needed to come off, the smaller one.

Make sure the arrow points in, disconnect the battery!
