OK, well all I get is a click and voltage drops down to 5v when key is all the way turned. I get 12v to the + on the starter but nothing to the clip on + wire with key turned. Possible causes i'm down to are: Bad wiring harness, alarm system, ring connectors at end of power wires not crimped well. I was driving with the alarm disabled previous to the battery relocation, so i'm not sure why it would cause this now. I should get new screw down rings tomorrow. I found two wires when unraveling the wiring harness loom. I think one is for the oil level sensor but don't know about the other. Also, I don't know the proper location for the ground...

I doubt it. It's by the oil pan. I pulled those out just about at the starter. The white/red has 1.5v and the blue/red has 6.2v. I'll try to take another one tomorrow.

you need to remove the aftermarket alarm, they are always a problem

I rerouted my ground to one of the studs for the Bose base snake, sanded that down to a polished metal and used platinum Stinger screw down type ring terminals and she started.



Can anyone recognize those two broken wires? ...and where is the proper spot for that wiring harness ground?
