When I hooked mine up,I found that the power feed,key on to the relay was NOT powered while cranking.In other words,if the wire you are using is NOT hot in the run/crank position both,it will not work.Pissed me off cause I wired it up at midnight,then tried to have my wife drive the car to work the next day,after I took her cruiser ! She was not happy climbing under the dash and twisting the two clutch switch wires together to start the car ! Let me know if you are still having trouble,it WILL work as shown in the diagram,LPE did a great job and provides great customer service should you have an issue.
