Hello,
My husband replaced the radiator on his 1990 Nissan 300zx (Fair Lady, non-turbo, automatic). While working on the car he decided to change the thermostat and removed the fan shroud, fan and several wiring harnesses. Pending inclement weather forced him to abandon changing the thermostat, so he reattached fan, fan shroud and the wiring harnesses. The radiator was successfully installed. The problem is the car will not start. The car cranks, but the engine will not turn over or even hit. It does not seem to be getting any fuel. He is certain the harnesses were all replaced properly and did not remove or work on any other part. The car worked just fine prior to the radiator install, with no trouble starting.
Any suggestions as to what to look for or try? I've since disconnected the battery in the hopes the electrical or security system needed to be reset (a stretch, I know, but my mechanical knowledge is limited to a highschool shop class over a decade ago ;-p).
Noteworthy: he did not disconnect the battery prior to working on the car. The battery was connected when he pulled the wiring harnesses. I'm not sure how much bearing, if any, this may have on this situation but I was under the impression the battery must always be disconnected prior to doing any intensive work on a vehicle.
