Default wire tuck....car wont start

sometimes it will want to turn over, but its like the battery is low, and i hooked it up to my prelude trying to jump it off. does the same thing. would it be a bad ground?

i just got done with my wire tuck, didnt removed anything, just pulled the harness inside the car, extened the headlights harness and moved down the frame rails, and they all work fine

is there something i possibly just have forgot to plug in, everything on the under hood fuse box looks good, its also inside the car.

everything on the interior fuse box is good

so that would leave me to think a bad ground somewhere, but where?

yup a bad ground

check the grounds and their contacts..they could have moved and is now touching paint..

check under the battery tray ground it goes from the body to the tranny...

pass. headlight thing with all the ground wires going to it isnt mounted on the frame rail yet. the headlights work, but could that be part of the reason?

Nah dude the grounds for the headlights have nothing to do with it as far as I know. They just keep your headlights on. Its definetely a ground for the engine or some relay I don't know.

i got it figured out. it was one of the bolts on the starter, not the one that holds it on the tranny, but the long skinny one was missing. so i got it on there, and it cranks up fine. i guess those are used like a ground.
