[ohio98eclipse]

ok today i did a 14b install on my 98 gst and im now finished the oil is still empty so is the coolant. i didnt have a banjo bolt to finish the oil feed and i didnt have a connector pipe to make my j pipe and LIC piping work. so it started rain and the MAF and the o2 were all hooked up and thatsall i disconnected as far as power goes. I go to put it in aux so i can roll my windows up and i have no power???/ i did a check on my battery and im showin 13 amps which is fine..but i have no power...is there some kind of safe setting on my car sayin if i have 0 oil 0 coolant and im not fully connected that it wont start????????/ but all power connections/fuses are made..can any onle help me out here???e

this is a very common thing that happens to alot of people. first of all...did you disconnect the battery during install? if not u most likely hit the altenator with a wrench/ratchet of some sort and it blew a major fuse. check all your major fuses UNDER THE HOOD. ive seen this happen to a couple people. they had wierd things happen though, like alarm kept going off, lights wouldnt shut off, couldnt put his top up or down (vert) no windows etc

im sure i hit the alt and no i didnt disconnect the battery i hope its only a fuse cause fuses major or not are always cheap and easy

ok guys this is really wierd i need some hlep...so i get into my car 3 hours later and my lights work, my avcr, my turbo timer but my radio and car is still dead but my battery has power???? as u read above my turbo install still isnt 100% complete but the only thing left to do is hook up the jpipe to intercooler piping and thats it...what inthe world can be causing this....at first i thought it was fuses but now some stuff works and other stuff doesnt when before nothing worked....can anyone help me?

the big fuses under the hood. they dont just pull out, they are held in by screws. check the tops of them to see if theyre blown. thats most likely your problem.

i hear ya there but if a fuse is blown its blown...before nothing worked now some stuff works....i didnt hit any wires while doin this so what would cause some stuff to all of a sudden work than not work??? like when i got done today nothing worked... a hour later i go back out and some items are getting power but my windows are stuff arent....a blown fuse doesnt explain them not working but now they do all of a sudden...anyone?

u def shorted something out, and or something is shorting out. check your damn fuses and report back. if your not going to then i give up helping you. goodbye and goodnight.

Did you just look at them or did you check them with a meter?

Fuses can look "normal" and still be blown.
