Thread: HUGE PROBLEM Relay by AEM EMS Clicking Fuel Relay Randomly Clicking Car not starting

OK I have a huge problem i never had a single issue with this car til this morning and i went out to try and start the car, i put the key in and i heard no fuel pump prime, i heard a clicking coming from the engine bay so i went out and felt the relay for the fuel pump and it was clicking i removed it and reinstalled it and the clicking stopped.

i went into the car and tried to start it and was met with my turbo timer flashing with the ignition in thr on position. no fuel pump priming NOTHING.

With the key in the first position the turbo timer is bright, in the second position the turbo timer is dim and still flickering.

i also noted that when i try to put on the hazzards the relay by the aem ems starts clicking.

when i try to start the car i get nothing it doesnt turn over or nothing i get what seems like a slight hmmmm

i i checked my connection to the harness everything seems ok, i checked the connections to the ecu everything seems ok.

i am completely at a loss becuase when the flashing from the turbo timer is going on, im not hearing ant relay clicking like you would think.

please anyone with any kind of input please let me know something or even feel free to text me 513-371-2625 please help

Also the puzzling thing is the clock on the dash is NOT flashing or going off what is up I'm lost and have had a bad week not trying to do this shit

I checked all the fuses inside the car they are all good.

I also noticed that with the ignition in the on position the fan motor doesn't blow at all

Another concerning thing is that with the key out of the ignition the turbo timer is still flashing ?????

I had the same issue before, it was a bad battery (bad cell). Take your battery in and get it checked. Mine still had "12v", but because one cell was bad, it wasn't working. Put a new battery in and everything was good. It could also be a low battery. AEMs are VERY power sensitive.

the niles if302 unit is buzzing/clicking?

ok now i had a idea what about headlights do i have headlight, i turned them on NO, no headlights

i did notice when i turned the headlights on the clock on the dash when off, the turned the lights off it came back on

i checked all of the fuses and they ALL are GOOD.

i check connections on the engine side, everything is straight. i just recently moved the car over in my driveway a week ago or so and it started and ran no problem. NOW THIS?!? I DONT GET IT, i have had the car for YEARS and its started rain sleet or snow i even didnt start it for 6 months no problem

i did buy the battery reconditioned from a junk yard, i needed a quick fix for the DYNO, i wonder if it is bad? its never given me any trouble before, but i cant figure out anything, i am checking all connections on interior and exterior, checking all fuses im lost lost lost

First thought; battery is dead. Second and third thoughts; battery is dead.

Ok I am going to check that asap and see what's up.

I b otic ed another weird thing is that when i turn the lights on the dash clock resets itsself.

I am awaiting for my Wagon to get here and I will take its battery and see if it starts.....Wagon is currently getting towed here from a blown out tire. Boy o boy my luck

Another thing when I turn the overhead light on the clock dims either in the middle or on position

yeah im with these guys, my first thought was the battery also.. cars do weird shit when they have a bad battery, esp fords.

I'm with the other 3, battery. Especially if you bought a junkyard battery.

Never had a single issue eh? LOL, didn't your car sit for years because of tuning issues?

Well yeah in a sense it was still drivable but the tune was terribly done. But the car still started reguardless.

I also had alot of Stuff go down crazy girlfriends thst were holding my car hostage lol.

Anyways lol I got my Wagon home and pulled the battery and then put it in the nissan and it start right up. Thank god I have never been so happy to have a bad battery haha.

Yeah it was doing some insane stuff I was thinking I have a huge wiring issue or something like that. Thank fully it's just a bad battery

But this can serve other people who run into these crazy electrical issue with their b13.

Sooo not so huge of a problem then lol thats good
