    Hey guys kinda a long story but please stay with me, I just recently did a respray of the bay, i took the whole wiring harness out and the only thing that i did in the bay to shave some wires was to get a power and ground distribution block, every wire that used to be on the positive and negative battery terminals are now in the distrubution blocks. The problem that i have is now the fuel pump turns on as soon as i turn the key to acc and never turns off and i cant get the car to crank. If i jump the starter then the car turns on and idles by itself, if i try to start it with my push button then it wont. I use a push button because my clutch safety switch broke a long time ago and i used to bypass it. I tried a new relay for the fuel pump and no change and i tried a new push button with no luck, any suggestions guys?

    Are you getting 12V to the starter trigger wire?

    Your button will have to be pressed.

    In that case it's either the button that's not closing the switch inside of it or there's a break in the wire from the switch to the starter.

    Trigger wire runs up to the ign should be rd w/bk stripe. The ignition main power in is rd w/gr stripe. Make sure its got power and that the switch is functioning correctly.
