BMS Meth Kit Problem

jockdeeznutz · 08-10-2016, 04:21 PM

I'm having trouble with my installation and I double checked everything. Now, my car won't start so not sure what's the problem. Here are some pictures of my install. I have an N54 so Blue wire goes to Spot 15 and orange goes to spot 2. I have the big red wire on FSB going to red wire with fuse and on the other hand I have a black solenoid wire and red wire that routes to the waterpump. Black waterpump wire grounded to the trunk. Any help is appreciated, Thanks!

battery hooked up?

jockdeeznutz · 08-10-2016, 04:59 PM

yes, Lights, radio, ignition turn on. But won't crank

make sure all the JB4 connections are tight. Especially the power wire.

All the connections are tight. I even tried removing the FSB connections off the Jb4 and it still won't start. Could this be a blown fuse?

If it won't crank has to be a dead battery or maybe a lose clutch wire if a manual trans.

Did you send the pictures to BMS technical support?

jockdeeznutz · 08-10-2016, 06:02 PM

I had a loose wire that was not connected to anything near clutch when I removed the under tray to put the wires through the firewall. Do you have a picture of a clutch wire? yes, I email pics to the bms tech support. Is this the clutch wire?

jockdeeznutz · 08-10-2016, 06:33 PM

I tried snapping that piece back above the clutch where it seemed it should fit. Car started! Thanks MIKE!! Can't believe that little piece can be sucha pain in the ass. I can't really see how it attaches to that spot but I just pushed back into the slot. Will it come loose again?

I did the test by putting the dash to 5-7. I see the oil gauge move all the way to the right but I don't hear the pump turning on. Any ideas?

double check the ground cable. my pump wouldn't kick on cuz of bad ground

jockdeeznutz · 08-10-2016, 09:27 PM

Do you have a picture of your ground location/setup? I have my wire grounded to the bottom of my trunk liner.

Turbo_power4ever · 08-10-2016, 09:31 PM

I ran mine to the negative terminal on the battery

jockdeeznutz · 08-11-2016, 07:16 PM

I ran my pump ground to the negative battery still no luck. The red light turns on the FSB but I don't hear pump still. Anyone from Chicago area? I'll buy you dinner and beer.
