- Sat Oct 27, 2012 4:03 am #318707 I've been building my d15b for a few days now, and finally dropped it in and was ready to run it, turned the key on n off a few times to prime the fuel, when I finally hit the key to start, all the power went out.
is there any main relay or something other then the ignition relay in the driver kick pannel? I'm really stumped right now. and don't have a clue of what to do next.

- Sat Oct 27, 2012 4:54 am #318710 Start checking the master fuse under the dash and any other relays and fuses that have to do with alternator or ignition, etc.

all the little fuses are good, in the engine bay and under dash, is there something bigger then the normal little fuses?

And you are sure that the main relay is good ?? other than that check all your connections on the starter

- Sat Oct 27, 2012 8:00 am #318720 ok I found the problem, since I painted my tranny with base coat clear coat, my starter was not grounding properly, and also my new ground location for the battery was not fully stripped of paint? so it all added up to some major resistance. thankfully all is resolved.

thnx for the help tho. could have easily been a number of the things u pointed out.

yeah man just multiple bad grounds added up, starter to transmission. battery ground to frame. and negative battery terminal.

- Mon Dec 16, 2013 5:58 am #340119 my first startup of my hatch, i had the wire to the starter flipped upside-down and when i put in the battery, it was grounding itself on the starter and shooting sparks all the way across my garage.
