need a bigger audience....

 

i really cant help much considering this is wiring for a haltec wich i know nothing about.

 

well the battery is capable of putting like 100+amps into anything it can find as a ground

ok, thats what I was looking for... So if that was the only hot wire in the car, 100 amps would be trying to go through it? What if it wasn't, what if they are severl wires pulling, I mean does it matter how many things are pulling amps from it, in determined how many amps a grounded wire will pull?>

 

so a short would have cause this? What kind of wire would the ground need to touch? a +12v wire of something that pulls a lot of amps?

 

you got some dirty fingernails

 

if your relay had a short in it, it would be similar to taking that thin black wire from the ground and touching it to the positive terminal on the battery...



if the wiring was wrong and there was a short due to wires going to the wrong places... it would be similar. It appears you have a number of things going to your positive terminal via some car audio type connector... I suspect some of those lines are not fused.... like if that grey wire is going to your fuel pump, is it fused?

 

Your poor car. I hope you can get it together soon.

 

Well its either the relay was miswired and sent the power from the power wire to the ground, or the ground shorted out inside the pre-wired loom, or the grey +12v source completed the circuit and sent too much power through the ground, but I have not wired the chassis or the dash harness(which the grey wire was plugged into) and I checked it with a multimeter to confirm this, and they grey wire is still intact, no signs of overload. SO either the relay is miswired and cross completed the 2 circuits or the ground wire shorted out inside the harness. Still waiting for haltech to write back, hitman on the hand has been very helpful.

 

ouch sorry to hear/see that



are you going to elite for tuning? any idea of when?
