Ok so heres the story, I dropped the dash the column and the reinforcement bar to get to the "ac/heat/ventilation box" (huge white box located behind the dash) i had to replace the heater core, that being said, alot of wires were unplugged so long story short, I put everything back together and reconnected every wire (to the best of my recollection) so here I am, the car is back intact and I decide its time to fire her up, only the car seems like its not even getting a charge (no dash lights, no signs of power) basically wanted to know if anyone has any ideas of what I should look into before having to drop everything back out to reinsure myself that everythings plugged back in.....please somebody help! any advice or heads up are appreciated!

 

check your battery connection

 

^^ agreed whats batt voltage? do high beams, hazards work?

 

Ok so I've ruled out the battery because I even tried to give it a jump start and still no power, as for the ground wire theory it would have to be inside the car, specifically the dash area considering thats the only place I worked on

 

Neither of the 2, first thing that came to mind for me was the battery as well so I checked, sanded, and fiddled with the terminals, nothing, tried to jump start it, still nothing

 

No doubt about it bro but where are those grounds located? and thanks i'll look into the fuses

 

Ok so I've now ruled out the grounds as I've connected all the necessary grounds, checked the main fuse under the hood and itss spotless so now im stuck up ****s creek without paddle, any help is greatly appreciated, The next thing im thinking is it could be my ECU? pleaseeeee help!

 

Issue resolved MODS close this thread!

 

just curious, what was the problem?

 

to be honest It was pretty stupid and you'll probably laugh..........so I totally forgot there were 2 connections that need to connect on the positive terminal of the battery and 1 on the negative, so long story short i connected 1 of 2 wires to my positive and the other 1 to the negative stumped as all hell until i had a look of oblivion on my face, so while im "pondering" in oblivion im actually looking down at my engine bay when i see a connection just hanging, connected it and voila ..... Note to my fellow Lexus SC owners, make sure all 3 connections are in place if youre experiencing an issue like i had. for memory for dedication to my car lol
