Intercooler installed but car won't start?
I have everything installed for the intercooler. I even filled the lines and ran the pump without starting the car just to make sure it worked.
The problem is that the car will not start. When I turn the key to start basically I get nothing. Almost like the battery is dead but I know it's not. The weird thing is now I can't hear the fuel pump start up either, the radio doesn't work in the ON or ACC position and my climate controls work on 2,3 and 4 but not on 1 or 5. Other than that everything else seems to be working. I hope I didn't screw something up when I was trying to plug the "Add a fuse" into different fuse spots so the ignition turn on for the pump would come on when I turned the key.
I am getting this code:
P0230-Fuel pump---Checked the fuses and even changed out the relay but nothing changed. The fuel pump was working fine before I started the install.
Could the ground on the coil pack be an issue?
I bought new terminals earlier today. I will try and clean the battery terminals tomorrow and try again.

I have checked all the grounds I can think of. Could this be a security issue? When the car is in security mode will it not let the car start or even turn over? When I turn the key I literally get nothing, no cranking, no clicking or anything. I am still reading 11.5 on the battery though.
I tried a few different things. The fuel pump fuse and a few others. Basically everything that is not working I had it hooked up to at one point.
What I don't get is could the wires have melted and not are not carrying current? I don't get why a simple add a fuse would not blow out a relay but would blow out the wire.

Try the fuses labeled IGN 1, 2, 3. Those fuses power up other circuits that are fused again. Check all of them just to make sure. I know a maxi fuse is an ignition fuse also but don't remember which one or how many amps it is. I'm positive you've just blown a
IGN fuse you would have seen, smelled or heard something if you melted wires somewhere.

I am still wondering where I should hook the "Add a fuse" for the IC pump. I don't want to blow more relays trying to GUESS where it goes.
Does anyone have an Intercooler? Where did you or how did you wire your pump?
