Every single lights are flashing !! And it still wont crank ...

[ka24eracer]

Finnally done the rb20 wiring in my 91 so I put the battery in place . Normally everything would stay off till im on acc or run , but now every light are flashing , even the cluster . Why the flashers , dtrl , cluster and everything are hot at all time ? And flashing ? . Remember the key are still in my hands. Oh and btw the car wont even crank, but this is probably easier to fix than the flashing components...

The starter only have a ground and the big wire going to the batt, I guess something is suposed to go on the Solenoid terminal ? As for the lights flashings the problem is still there , i forgot to mention that even the light on the ecu is flashing so its like the whole positive current is going trough a clicking relay ?

I will keep my blog updated , maybe somebody who know why my lights and electrical components are flashing will read this ! . I had an idea , maybe the voltage was too low to keep the accessory relay completely closed since my battery was almost done . I need a new battery anyway so i bought one , put it in the car and the problem is still there .Btw , the headlight motor relay is clicking like a flasher module , is that a hint for somebody?

Pleasy guys , I've searched alot , printed all the electrical fsm and nothing seem to helped my case .The ECU light , the DRL , the whole cluster is flashing and the headlight motor relay is clicking at the same rhythm . It sound like when you put the hazard light on .

I did my wiring myself and can help you out.. but first, which wires did you connect to the main power harness on the rb20 (should be 3) then which wires did you connect from the ecu to the relays (1) and which wire did you connect from the big rectangle plug under the dash to the ecu (1) - those are the minimum requirements to get it started...

if you did an auto to manual, it will not crank unless you bypass the safety switch or connect it to the clutch pedal - these wires are located UNDER the engine bay fuse box, held on the metal with plastic...

Let me know which wires you connected to which wires...

Wow , good too have news ! I've seen all your vids on youtube and it didnt resolved my mystery. Well the RB white/purple is connected to the white wire going to the fuse box (not 100% sure if the side of the relay does matter) , the RB black/red is ton the KA black red(grey oval plug) , the RB white/black is wired to the KA red (same grey oval plug ). As for the Black/yellow , the only one I found is the big main battery ground . I found a smaller one , unused lying on the floor unconected but I didnt find a way to plug it anywhere and the car is cranking so I didnt know what to think...This sentence confused me , the black/yellow stripe seem to be important ''Black/yellow wire spliced into back/white wire, again white wire is NOT spliced in ''. Oh also , I use the complete KA lower harness except for the alternator connector and ground. Even the Batt wire on the alternator is the one from the ka so I can still clip it to the battery terminal

Sounds like the engine bay wiring is good... maybe space the sentences out a little...

Anyway, how about at the ecu.. the rb20det needs 2 wires to get it started...

1 wire from the ecu splices into the ORANGE wire in between the 2 green relays..

1 wire is an input from the start signal wire on the big connector under the dash...

[ka24eracer]

Ok so for the orange wire , I thought I could run without it because I have

a canadian 240 , so no interlock or clutch switch . Also , I guess the car

would not crank if this wire was necessary ? . Not totally sure on this one.

And I dont know anything about the start signal wire . Is it a located on

one of the three dash connectors at the end of the harness ? Between

Sorry for my spelling mistake and my structure , im not the best in english

but I'll do my best !! So I d'like to know more about the start signal wire

and you dont think I need to do something with the white/yellow strip that

I dont have ?

[Acecool]

I can make a quick video if you like.. I still have my ecu hanging out..

the start signal wire is NOT required to get it running, but it helps so it starts right up.. has to do with timing or something...

The other wire needs to go in between the green relays on the orange wire, this lets them click so that you can get spark...

[ka24eracer]

Sure I would love to have a vid because im mostly a visual person . So if I understand , without the orange wire , Im not going anywhere ...

[ka24eracer]

As im propably getting annoying for alot of people , if somebody want to add me on hotmail and resolve my last problems , go for it . [email protected] .

It would also be faster for me , I guess most of you guys know how it feel the be one or two wires away from the complete job ...Not so good to be in the NRRBA
