Default sc400 w58. no crank.

i did the NSS bypass from BIGGU, but im not getting any crank.

i thought it might have been my factory alarm since my battery died but i checked that but unlocking the driver door.

car worked/started before the 5 speed swap.

any ideas?

Trying to start the car right now. lol

no click. nothing, but there is power. is there only one ground on the transmission? if so it's there.

I meant engine grounds, stuff in the harness under the dash, not sure how far you went (engine out/harness trimming) when swapping in the w58.

If you didn't do any harness modification like pruning the excess unused stuff, there should be two wires at the big plug on the trans that are fat and prob solid black, black and white. On an sc300 its pin 2 and 3. Twist them together, solder, heat shrink. Almost all these a3xx boxes have a setup like that in some form or fashion through the years. Earlier ones were on 3 pin plugs yours should be 9

^hard to understand what you're saying, but I think I got it after reading it about 5 times.

there's a plug that goes to the nss. You need to bridge two of the pins together. Should be 2 thick wires. I'll try to take a picture of it when I can.

Engine grounds, plugs under the dash, etc. we don't know what all you touched when doing this, and your posts are very unclear and grammatically difficult to read. If the car worked before, it's something you touched. Go back over your work. Trans doesn't need to be grounded as long as there are grounds from engine block to chassis/battery.

No, I removed the pin/wire I ran from the engine bay fuse box to under the dash. Since that didn't work for me. I did this on my 400.
