one month ago i bought my st185 front clip because i wanted more power..
anyways, finished with the swap..so i thought... sunday night the motor was ready to be fired up for the first time.. went into my car and turned the key... and crap!!! there seems to be no power in the dash.. power windows doesnt work, turn signals don't work, and gauges don't work.. everything else is fine..such as the head lights, hazard lights... sigh... but because there's not enough power or no power to the dash i can't start my car... any suggestion.....anybody?  THANKS.. -Ryu- -------------------- [color=#FF0000] I MISS MY RED BABY =(

maybe your car was sitting for a while (or you had the battery on the ground?) you did the swap & the battery is near dead.....

did you do ur harness or did Mike?
If you did it you may have a relay problem. If Mike did it its unlikely. -------------------- |

It sounds stupid but check the battery terminals. The stock toyota ones are junk and have poor connection quality over time. You may need to really torque them on there. This happens to me all the time. If I ever had to get away in a hurry I'd be fooked because half the time I have to pop the hood, get out and play around with the terminals to get juice.

yeah..mike did my wires... I kind of doubt that there's something wrong with the wires because yeah..its done by mike...he does everyone's wires.. but a mechanic at toyota is telling me that there might be a bad wire/wires somewhere..i hope that's not it..
its not the battery internals.. nor the battery... still...all the gauges on the cluster isnt working... but the lights turns on just fine..the turn signals aren't working..but the hazard lights are cool.. and when i put my key in.it doesnt do anything...no ding ding noises or anything... Im lost..... -------------------- [color=#FF0000] I MISS MY RED BABY =(

Mike test the harness before shipping them out, so I REALLY doubt that its the harness. I have faith in the brotha. I'd say check the battery connections and such, jiggle em around and such. Are you sure the battery is charged?

There is a fuse in the engine bay fuse box that will shut all of these thing off including your ignition. It's called the efi fuse. I believe it's a 25 amp fuse.
