Ok. Today I tried to install the fuel cutoff switch on my car. Well.. something went terribly wrong. I spliced the green/yellow wire and did the wiring on it. Well something went wrong cus when i flipped the switch to "off" the car turned off.. and never turned on again. I undid all the wiring i had done, and still no response. The car SOUNDS like it wants to start, but does not. It seems like no fuel is going through. I have no clue what to do.. My car is currently dead.. any help would be greatly appreciated.

when you flip the switch on can you hear your fuel pump prime?

If i were you id check your fuses first. If anything else try reseting your computer by disconecting your neg. battery terminal for a few minutes and see what happens. Its probably a fuse though..
let me know what happens....PM me.

I took all the wires off, no more switch.. just the same old setup as it was. I have not tried to listen for the fuel pump to prime, what should it sound like? (stupid question?)

I have checked all my fuses, all are fine, including the ones under the hood. I will try the computer reset right now.

garunteed *sp? that you blew the fuel pump fuse.. its under the dash, next to the yellow abs fuse..

i dont understand why everyone makes a cut off switch it does work but you can also pull the fuse, and put in a blown one and a theft will enver know the difference, all you gotta do is take out all the spare fuses so he doesnt have a fuse to put in there.. although he could take a p/w fuse or something i guess.. check your fuse bro, you blew it..

Turn your key so the accesory comes on. Listen for a buzzing noise under the back seats. Also turn your radio off. If you hear the buzzing then the fuel pump is coming on. If not, then it isn't.

When you turn the key to the on position (not start), you should hear a buzzing noise that will go away in a few seconds. That is the noise for the fuel pump to prime. HTH

damn all these replays in that little time.. are you sure you check the right fuse? im not callin you out or anything but my roomate once over looked it and was scared as hell like you were..

kKdARIAN

*SIGH*
holy sh*T i could have sworn i went through all the fuses... it WAS blown.

that was it. Thank you sooo much for all the help. That was totally fast and saved me the $$ to have the car towed to a shop and for them to charge me $200 to tell me it was a fuse.. Thank alot... everyone.
