2002 civic si
So i took my engine and tranny out, to relpace cams, clutch, head bolts, head gasket, and engine mounts, well finished putting everything in and my battery light is on and only a charged battery will work, i tried to use my battery and it doesnt turn over or crank unless there are cables on it. and once you take them off like 30 seconds the car dies, i asked my friend to unplud the wires ecu wires but he unplugged the wrong three i think he did the ones from the other box, ecm? i think, its labled mitsubishi elect. corp. but i checked my alternator cause thats usually why a battery wont charge but it was only a month old and they people at advanced auto and autozone both said the alternator was good. do i have to reset anything to get the charge system stuff to function sense my friend unplugged those other plugs? im beyond lost..
just a list of things ive checked,
grounds, alternator, made sure everything was plugged in and bolted down, fuses,
i did drive it around on a friends battery to make sure everything else was working right but i didnt drive it long enough to see if it was draining the battery or not, but this battery light is making me very paranoid about using it as my DD again.
