Re: Need Help Bad!!!!!! Battery Relocation

i did this as well

It was the small yellow/black wire from the Theft Deterrent Relay (TDR) to the BCM (body control module) which grounds the TDR through the BCM. So we just soldered on a "jumper" wire from the terminal at the TDR and grounded it to the factory grounding stud on the inside passenger door/closeout panel.


THe only diff this made was i could try and start the car with out the clutch...now i have to push the clutch in ....

Re: Need Help Bad!!!!!! Battery Relocation

TRy a jumper from the batt neg terminal right to the starter housing..
My thought is, not a good enough ground to the starter..

Please post on the correct forum, and only on the correct forum. You've got this in 3 different locations, and it doesn't belong on Advanced Tech or on LT1/LT4 Engine Tech.
