I spent about an hour searching around for a solution to my particular problem but haven't come up with anything yet.

I recently finished swapping a KADE into my '90 s13 chassis. Everything was put back together, all of the wiring in place until we got to the start / alternator / transmission harness. One of the plugs on the dual cam harness doesn't match up to the single cam relay box. The female plug has 4 wires going to it, and the only left over plug on the dual cam harness has 2 wires - none of the wires are the same color, so splicing it won't work.

I'm not entirely sure if that's why the car won't start, and won't even turn over. The start does turn over if you jump the solenoid with a screwdriver though, and the starter relay clicks when you turn the key - so I'm sure the problem lies within that wiring somewhere.

So for all you electrical experts that know more than I do, is there something we missed over when we got the parts together, or didn't do something right?

Sorry for the long post, sometimes it seems like I end up writing way much more than I intended to. I blame that on my english teacher.

Here's a link to the picture of the relay box and plug I'm talkin' about - on a friends S13. http://i10.photobucket.com/alb...3.jpgh ... lb...5.jpg

Thank you to anyone who posts in advance for any help.

In the engine bay, coming out of the bottom of the S13 fusebox is a pair of thick wires with a single oval grey plug. wire colors are black w/ yellow stripe and white. Connect these 2 thick wires together to bypass the starter interlock. your car should crank in any gear so be carefull
