Exclamation 2001 CLS 6 speed conversion done but now cant start car.

Hey what's up guys. I just finished my second 6 speed conversion. The first swap was done with using Richies harness.

This time I went the other route and purchased the complete 03 CLS6 engine harness, front cam pulley, crank pulley, & sensors.

Alright now that everything is done I can't start the car vby just turning the key. I had to jump the starter so that it can run. For some reason I have to figure out how to get the ignition to send the starter signal.

I also had a few other questions about some wires that I'm not sure where they go.

These wires are vcc3, sg3, clsw, & rvslck

If anyone can shine some light on this I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks !

Are you sure all the wiring is connected? There should be no reason it doesnt crank. None of that wiring is different. Check the fuses.

As for the wires, what are the areas that they go?

jumping what starter wire? at the starter?


And as for the wires, where are they located, under hood? under dash? where do they normally connect.

I jumped the starter under the hood with the small wire to the battery. Now what I did was cut my A plug under the dash to convert it to the cls6 E plug. I can't find where I need to connect these that are remaining on the ecu plug. Also I can't find the one to connect the imrc that's on my dash harness.

what about your key matching your computer? the immobilizer might be preventing the car from starting.

Yes the clutch interlock is not hooked up but I tried grounding it out and still no luck. But that is the main problem, I'm not sure if its ground or needs power. I taught it was grounded closed loop when the clutch is pressed in.

I already programmed the key to the new ecu. Immobilizer light does go out.

I fixed my problem I had ground the blue/white wire that originally sent the signal from the automatic gear position switch to the driver's side fuse box. You can ground this wire from the inside of the car. Its located right at the driver's side fuse box.

You have an immobilizer problem, the key light will come on and go off if everything is working correctly. But will flash if the key is not programmed.
