Default Yellow box install gone wrong?

Hey guys I just got the 4.56 gears differential put it and everything is running smooth. But today while I was doing the yellow box install I accidently plugged the blue wire from the yellow box into the blue/white wire coming from the c101 and vice versa with the white wire. Then when I tried to start my car the starter wouldn't engage, so I knew I messed something up and went back to check and I fixed it by putting the the wires together how its suppose to be installed and it still didn't start. I also tried to put everything back to stock and it still wouldn't start. Do you think I might have fried the ecu or blew a fuse or what not? If you any any idea or help, let me know, thanks.



P.S. I also checked the yellow box and its still running good because the light lighted up for a good 5 second.....

Check all of your fuses and then post what you found.

Last time I looked there wasn't a blue wire attached to the yellow box, as seen in this diagram:



So, what do you have hooked up where?

My yellow box didn't come with a blue wire either, mine has a red 12v positive connection, a black ground connection, and a grey (output) and white (input) wire which are what get spliced into the blue/white speed sensor wire.

GEEZ, this is why i never like to mess with electronics, i was proud of myself when i cut the wires to allow me to drop my top while still moving! anyone know how much time it would take a stereo or electronics shop to install the box for me? thanks.

good news I found out what happened......apparently while installing the yellow box I knocked loose the starter/alarm wire but I fixed it now its running....hooray for me......also the yellow box install isn't that hard just cut one wire tap the other and just connect the male/female connector and you're done......thanks everyone for your input on this thread.....
