Ok, so bought stereo for the tracker, got home and went to install, besides speaker wires and antenna, there are two wires, one hot at all times for the stereo memory and one hot when key is on acc, pretty straight forward (at least that's what I thought)
Finished installing harness, radio works somewhat ok (only grabs a couple stations) but then tried to start car and nothing, not even the commonly heard clicking on these cars, battery measures 12.8v, I have headlights, interior light, side blinkers and all lights go on dash, including cel. But not even the slightest attempt to crank or start, all fuses under driver's left knee and on right fender test good for continuity. When they key goes to the "on" position it makes a weird sound, not the usual noise of the fuel pump, it is the same "grasping" sound that it makes when I used to pull the FI fuse on the right fender when doing compression test. I guess next step is to measure all inputs to Ecu?
Something else I did before installing the stereo was to get to of a sunpro oil pressure gauge that po had installed, he had the copper tubing going through the firewall into the big grommet where all the thee wires go to Ecu, maybe when I pulled the tubing out I broke a wire or something?
