Engine first start

Damn it, I know some people are more helpful than others on here, but post up the problem if you want to,

What sort of issues .double check grounds and test light for power

I called Ron Francis. Waiting for a tech call back. His panel has relays on it, which means it gets its ground from somewhere, but i can't determine where.

It's definitely ground related. When i turn stuff on my dash indicators flash on for a split second.

If anyone is familiar with a power probe 3, here's where it gets weird.

Some wires on the panel when i touch them with the probe beep like morse code. The beep typically indicates ground, and it should be a solid beep. The frame of the panel has solid beep for ground so i just don't know.

His customer service/ tech sucks. Took almost a week for him to respond last time
 
From here sounds like a ground issue. Do you have a jumper wire you can use as a temp ground to test a circuit?
 
picture of the panel? We might see something obvious, or not.

I have the power probe 3

I can apply power or ground, and test as well.

They're great, but doesn't help when shits buried!

These are simple circuits. It's 99% always a ground issue and i know this. Every one of my grounds ohm out to 0.03 ohms or less to the battery. So thats where i get confused as to where to look next
 
Do you have select-a-circuit fuses? Make sure they are in the correct slot. Some can be on battery power and some only work with ignition on depending what location they are in.

Yes, and i have the ignition on fully when I'm testing stuff
 
Do you have a circuit breaker some were you say it's intermittent beeps could it be a wire pinched on the Trans since you had that out after the wiring was done .Think of what you have done since it's been done look over all that
 
Power the panel directly from the battery hot and ground. From there you'll know which direction to start looking. Is the battery fully charged?

The panel has no ground wire, which is why im wondering where the damn thing gets a ground from. Must be through the mounting bolts to the chassis, which i find stupid.

Battery is charged yes, did that this morning and has been checked periodically.

Can you post a wiring diagram of the panel.

Mine is mounted on a piece of abs plastic, so it’s definitely not the frame that is the ground.
