int-x doesn't power up

Just installed the int-x, pos and neg cables are connected to the battery, and I switched on the car. Most things are normal (inside the car), but the int-x shows no lights, it's like it's not getting any power. I took off the ecu covering and checked the wires, it all looks normal and nothing is being pinched.

Any idea what I should look at?

TIA

disconnected the int-x and plugged in the oem pcm, and i get similar results. car can't start. Also the security key light is flashing rapidly.

I'm going to pull the fuses and see if anything died..

Thanks for the help.

I'll post the resolution here in case anyone has a similar problem.

My problem turned out to be a 15 amp fuse (Engine) that was burned. So I swapped the horn 15 amp fuse with the engine 15amp, and the car now acts normally.

Int-x still had no power. It turns out that the 15 amp fuse (In the rubber container on the positive power cable) wasn't plugged in. I found the fuse in the bag that came with the int-x and now I get green power on the int-x.

wooooooo
