ground wire boxes?

By hatchaddict
- Sun Jun 26, 2011 7:52 am #261034 The boxes where all the ground wires run to on the wiring harnesses I realized were all cut off on my wiring harness I mustve done it not thinking or one of the buddys did but I grounded all those wires out again I think. Could this cause any problems? My currently will not start has spark has fuel but won't start? Come on guys help me out. Its a 94 hatch with a b16a swap

I have no idea what wires you mean. The white boxes behind the headlights?

I'd start over with a new harness.
