Hello everybody. since my last post a new problem has occurred. I am struggling to figure out what the heck is going on with my car! At first I thought it might have been my AEM infinity dumping out on me, but after plugging in the stock ECU and seeing similar problems I think it is an electrical issue in my car. It started off as my ECU (infinity) cutting out while I was driving. I would have to disconnect the batter and reconnect it to get power back to the ECU. Now the car wont even start. I will have my laptop plugged into my infinity display on, and when I go to crank the car, the display immediately shuts off (the ECU loses power). on top of that, my ABS is making a weird clicking noise when the accessories is on, and the ABS dash light flick with the click, I think the issues may be related. I also have some sort of main power relay (I'm not sure if it is stock I didn't do the wiring on my car) and normally when the car was ooerating as usual, I would hear this relay rapidly click after I took the key out, like its powering down, it seems to be only doing this sometimes now. When the ECU starts up and works properly with the accessories switch on, the relay will click and power down. When the ECU refuses to start up as normal, the relay doesnt click.
This is just my best description of an issue which has a lot of symptoms that intermittently appear at different times, but it seems like something isn't getting power consistenly when it needs to. I don't know much about how the electrics are setup on this car, and am so lost trying to troubleshoot this. I have a multimeter, tell me where to poke It! I would appreciate anybody's help enormously!
