wiring....

sooo since i took tomorrow off to go to the drag track with my friends and now it looks like its going to pour all day i decided i will re do the wiring in the amp racks..it started off nice but now i was just trying to get it done for this weekend so i could go out and try it..since it will be cloudy and 60's and my head unit and two batteries wont be here till tuesday i might as well take the time to run these wire again...im also going to have to build my custom sub box that will hold my 2 10" polks and a mount for my ZLD...this whole wiring thing is a pain haha..the hardest part so far was running the tower speakers..anyone know of any nice tower lights? the old one i had were from liquid audio and were toast when i took them off...will add pics hopefully tomorrow

well i hooked everything up and i dont know if i missed something but i the motor wont crank and the amps wont power up..im going to try a few things

I'd say you missed something :)

Maybe its the batteries that wont arrive until Tuesday?

J/K! Gives us more info on what the system and battery scheme consisted of before the upgrades and what you just installed.

hooked up all the batteries everything works, fuel will prime but when u turn the key to start it you get nothing

Sounds like the helm BUSS has power but the main starter cable could be connected to the wrong spot or not connected at all. Is the shifter in gear? Kill switch?

Break out the volt meter start by checking voltage at the main cable on the starter, then the solenoid wire while someone holds the key in the crank position.

Glad we got the amp figured out last night, i guess with all the Amp stuff we forgot to work the starter issue. Send me a text later if you want me to call you and go over a few things to check.

will do..knowing me i probably took a wire out or something and forgot to put it back( dont think so tho haha)..i wobder if it could be the neutral switch too

im showing 12v to that starter

weeelllll i found out what it was..ill upload a pic in a few..would have never saw it if i didnt look up and noticed the little silver hanging out

the culprit to my motor not turning over..i dont know how i caught this

Nice work, Moto! That would have most people running around in circles for a while.

When you see a troubleshooter or maintenance guide and it says, "inspect wiring" or "inspect all connections", that is exactly what it is talking about.

Sometimes, it's just good being lucky!

that's some good karma paying back being able to find that needle in a stack...

yeaa on rfriday when i was working on the system i noticed it not wanting to turn over..so after that i gave up on working on it to figure out what went wrong and testing the power to everything..i thought after all that, that it was going to be the neutral in the throttle control.

soo everything came in today except for the second battery..i got the first one yesterday but for some odd reason the second battery with the head unit need to be signed for..so today the guy came before i left so he stopped and gave me the head unit and searched the entire truck and nothing..soooo now im hoping that they left it in another truck or something..hopefully it comes later today or tomorrow

Cranking circuit.... That is what yellow with red stripe is.... Good catch!

its still weird.. sometimes i have to play with it when i start the boat

sub box is made..had to pull the seat and cup holder out to make her slide in..now i just have to seal her with the water protector and wrap her and install the subs and she will be bumping..rained the other day and i had the ZLD on the floor waiting to be mounted and i went to push up on the cover to get the water off and the cover collapsed so i "sank" the zld..no power to it at the time but i tried my best to pull it out as fast as i could and dry it off and got nothing out of it after a day of drying..had i power to it but no led lights were on and i couldnt hear music so i killed it

Well that sucks. Sorry moto...

no worries..brian ( whos been awesome so far ) said to send it back, so im going to get a new one...thanks brian your the best bud..i have the sub box done and installed..she hits good haha and it turned out well using plywood for a box haha
