Well I got it thru his mother whom thought I was just going to scrap it because they thought it needed a complete new wiring harness. Thats why she didn't tell me. Guess I'll just part it out and scrap the rest.

Well even bigger bummer, my friend never paid the car off and there is at least a $2000 lien on it if not more..

Okay, well how can I tell if a car is skim or not at a junkyard? take off the plastic around the column and see if the module is there? Will only 2002 ecu's work? I would just have a dealer do it but if I gotta take the car there, that's gonna cost me at least $300 to get it towed there and back.. T...

I can't get a non skim one like I've read other people have done? Then unplug the skim plug at the key?

Yeah but that still can't be the problem. That was just my dumbass forgetting. My buddy still couldn't get the car running. He got a ecu from the junkyard, when I plug that in, the red dot on the dash stays lit, I'm guessing that is the immobilizer? When I plug the old ecu back in, it lights, then t...

Wow I feel pretty dumb. I'm so used to not having to press in the clutch on my vw, I forgot to on here. It cranks fine. Now I need to get a coil pack and plug wires.

The starter cranks when I engage the relay by hand. For some reason it doesn't when I turn the key, although I am getting 12v from the ignition. If I jump the iginition wire to the starter feed, then turn the ignition key, it works too.something has to be missing ground for the relay not to work.

Would it be on the signal wire or the thicker hot wire?

Does the fuseable link look like heatshrink? I thought you were just saying a long name for fuses.

Are there any more fuses other then the panel on the inside dash and the pdc in the engine bay?

I'm not getting any power to the signal wire for the solenoid. All fuses are good though. I have power to the starter relay as I turn the key to crank on pin 24 and I have ground on pin 28 which is thru the pcm.

So I'm losing current between the relay and the starter it seems.

All interior lights work. I have power and ground at the starter relay. Possible the starter solenoid shit the bed?

you missed the point of my post. if we don't know what is missing or what shape the car is in (which is kinda hard to do over the internet) how can we solve the problem? shorting out the electrical system can potentially fry anything that is a part of it. grab your dmm and start measuring everythin...

you may get some answers, but they will be guesses as best. how can we tell you what to do when you know that parts are missing from the car? Btw, its a 5 speed, 2.0 sohc, 126k on the clock, with a new clutch we put in shortly before it happened. He must of sold some stuff off of it because its mis...

I'm posting this over here too from the org. Okay so I bought this neon off my buddy for $100. Supposedly the wire from the alternator fell off, and struck the axle and shorted something out. It's one of my best friends cars and he went into the army. I don't really know what he's done to try to fix...
