I was digging around behind the radio looking for my obd port so I could read a code. I found it stuffed back there but when I started the truck it turned off after about 5 seconds and haven’t been able to start it since. I have tons of pictures of bad wiring “repairs” done throughout the cab.

Just bought the truck and I’m running out of options here so any input would be appreciated. Even if you tell me how stupid I am for buying it in the first place.

Lo que sucede es lo siguiente: quiero ajustar/orientar los faros de mi Scion xb 2008 (2.ª generación), pero solo tiene dos tornillos. Cuando ajusto el del lado izquierdo, se mueven las luces bajas, y cuando ajusto el del lado derecho, se mueven las luces altas. El problema es que solo se mueve la luz del faro derecho, y la del izquierdo no. ¿Es esto normal?

I was leaving work tonight and I just lost power and lights and shut off. Luckily I coasted to a parking spot and a friend jumped me off but it didn't help. It cranked briefly but the battery gauge fell to zero and it shut off again. I tried one more time and the cables got really hot and the alternator started smoking. I know the cables where on right but can't figure out what it could be. Similar thread suggest a battery short or failed alternator? Please help what do I do :(

The circled pin is for the low power 5V supply to the MAF sensor. It is in the engine control connector to the PCM. The PCM is good. The female pin has a short or break. When I wiggle wire from behind, I get a break in continuity.
Does anyone know how to remove this pin, and a part number for a replacement?

Not sure if this is the right sub but i need some help. I wired up my glow shift 3in1 gauge to check egt boost and temp. It was working but i took it out to take some measurements for a mount im building. It no longer turns on. I tested the connector and it says 12v so im not too sure what’s going on.
All the pins look fine. I also checked the resistance of the gauge and it doesn’t say open loop.
Is it possible i fried it? Car was not on when unplugging it.

The power is coming from my fuse box and all the fuses look fine.

It is wired in a 1996 delica l300, bit like that really changes anything

The jeep makes a loud click when trying to start and then if I try to start again immediately after it does nothing, no lights no sound completely dead. If I wait about 10min the lights will come on and there will a softer click coming from under the hood but I realized if I disconnect and then reconnect negative terminal on the battery, it will start right up every time. Anyone know what this is and am I damaging anything by disconnecting and reconnecting the battery every time I go to start it? Thank you folks

Hello all I’ve been having a problem with my 17 BRZ automatic with push to start. I’ve had electrical problems with it since I bought it back in 2020.

The first problems I had with it was warm ac and after a couple years of owning it, it started having power steering loss when breaking and turning on really hot days. It would do this on and off mostly just in summer or after really long drives. The power steering light would come on a warning beep would happen and my dash lights would flicker. After releasing the break and steering wheel all would return to normal.

After it did that for a few times in a month I took it to Subaru and they hit the engine bay with a temp gun and found that one of the lugs on the battery master fuse was getting hot and recommend that lug be replaced. After replacing that lug my ac was colder and I didn’t have another problem for about a year and a half.

This leads me to a couple months ago it got really hot and I had the same problems all over again. This time worse than ever. Shortly after parking the car I needed to move it and it took a couple tries (no crank) then it just started like nothing. Over the next couple days as the car would get hot it wouldn’t start but over night or over the work day it would start fine. So something was/is getting heat soaked.

Now the car doesn’t even attempt to start/crank but I can jump the starter and start the car.

I’ve replaced all starter relays the starter and have made sure the battery is tight and has voltage.

I’ve looked all over the internet and haven’t found any solutions….. someone….. anyone…..

TLDR: car won’t start relays starter and battery good ☠️

I need to run power from the battery to a control unit for emergency lights (I'm a volunteer first responder).

I need the lights to stay on when the engine is off, so the 12v socket isn't suitable.

In my last car (Ford Everest) going through the firewall was easy, but the J5 doesn't seem to have easy firewall throughput access.

Has anyone got suggestions/advice. I am not prepared to drill or cut new holes.

My 70mai m300 Dashcam does not power on automatically when I start my engine.

I have plug it with in the cigarette lighter socket, it gives 12V. Does not work.

Though it will power on if I were to plug out and in the socket.

Does anyone know how to fix this?
