Gen 1 no power on keyon

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi all,
I've had to replace the frame on my gen 1 (again). On putting it back seems like somethings gone wrong though! When I connect up the battery, the oil light comes on with no key in. Unplugging the oil pressure plug at the bottom right of the engine turns it off. If I turn the key though the dash doesn't come on and nothing happens. Not really sure where to start for electrics unfortunately. Battery is good. Pressing the starter doesn't do anything and fuel pump doesn't make any noise when turning the key.
Thanks

	Yep, one from the engine to the frame, other from same spot in the frame to the negative. That's the only cable going to the negative terminal isn't it? Then two cables to the positive?

	Still sounds a bit like a ground issue. Are you sure the ground cables are sound. If you have a meter maybe check for continuity between the battery neg and the chassis. Other than that the main 30 amp fuse or something around the ignition switch loom/connector.

	Oh I'm such an idiot. Did the exact same thing the last time I changed the frame Only 1 wire going to the positive, other two go to negative.
