I guess I have to introduce myself here . I've owned an '84 SVO for over 5 years that's taught me a lot about engines/cars/electrical/etc. every summer something new happens with it and I'm finally on my way to building my dream car. Just about every part on the car has been replaced with my own 2 hands (including fresh paint) so I'm no novice to the mechanics world. Currently in the middle of a full engine build which I can go more in depth on for those who are interested (HX35 @ 25psi, CP pistons, crower rods, etc.) Anyways the reason I joined this forum was to get help with something I can not for the life of me figure out. I'm no stranger to diagnosing engine and electrical issues but this has me stumped. I recently picked up a 2008 Bullitt (black) and it's been great so far. Except I wanted to add some accent lighting, nothing too extreme, just a couple of LED's. Anyways after I installed I tested them and they worked so I called it a day. Next day go to drive it and it wont crank. Everything else works just fine, just will not crank (it will crank and start if i jump the relay). If this isn't the place to discuss this issue I'll make a real post later. For now go ahead and ask me questions I guess!!

 

Welcome.. you must have hooked the new lights up to a live all the time circuit?

 

I did actually. funny enough I removed the aftermarket immobilizer and she fired right up! all fixed now. must have just been going bad and just a coincidence that it happened when i put the lights in
