RHD Swap - No ECU Power

[ryandeputy]

Hello All,

I saved a 89 240SX hatch shell from becoming a missle. I got a clip from JDM Orlando completely bone stock with only the rear main body harness cut off at the drivers knees. The RHD swap is all done, the car is sitting on the ground all plugged up. I hooked up the battery and there is no light coming from inside the ECU. The clock on the cluster is coming on, and the hazard lights work. No directional blinkers, headlights, or ignition comes on. I also have digital climate control and the digital display does not come on.

I do not have the rear harness hooked up, its still cut off. I figured I could still get the ignition to come on, even the ECU to power up with the rear harness not connected to the tail lights and fuel pump. There are some grounds that go back there that arent connected and that could be the problem. Today I am pulling the dash out again to check all the grounds under there.

This is my first post I think, so thanks to anyone who reads this. I was not planning on asking the forum, and I wanted to dump the whole build thread on the site once the car was finished but im in a snag. Any tips, hints, or wishes of good luck will be greatly appreciated.

Ryan
