8v no startie...

[sik@efuct.com (rhys)]

all fuses are fine, all wiring looks fine, though i found what used to be an alarm hiding under the dash, all but 3 of the wires disconnected. i pulled it out and wrapped up the 3 ends.

all the wiring behind the box looks fine (as far as i could see...thers alot of wiring)

going out to check the battery right now.

if i actually did something and it broke, i could understand...but this just pisses me off so much...
