Car Won't Start / No Power
I built the Satsuma a couple of days ago and it wouldn't start. The lights don't work along with the wipers. I took it to the shop hoping the mechanic would fix the engine but I'm unsure of how long he takes, he only called to yell at me about returning his car.

I downloaded MSCEditor and everything is bolted and the wiring is complete. The car seems to be fine but I can't figure out why it won't start.

I've spent 38 hours building this car and haven't even driven it, any help would be great.


E: I just need help building the car and I have people arguing about grammar.

NO LIGHTS = NO POWER
Wiring is not done correctly and/or the battery is DEAD

battery/wiring wrong

If you used the editor, I would try replacing the battery. Are you using the stock one or one you bought? Stock battery is garbage.

I bought a new battery, and I made sure it was charged. All the wiring like I said, should be complete because i used MSCEditor to do the wiring as I was having trouble with it.

Using software that the creator says to NOT use for wiring since it doesn't work, but ♥♥♥♥ him. You'll show everyone how much you know.

You're a bit of an arse, yeah?
You're acting like I said I've been playing this game for years and can quote the creators every words, which I said I've only put 39 hours in and used MSCE as a last resort when i couldn't fix it.
So the "You'll show everyone how much you know." doesn't really make much sense.

Just because your first answer doesn't help doesn't mean you need to go on a little hissy fit.

edit: I can see you're a bit of an smartarse on other post you comment, then when you get ignored you leave another comment until you get a reaction.

If you used the editor to fix the wiring, you might be screwed, because it will add unused wires and those will drain your battery ASAP.

Also, if you keep trying to start the car for too many times, the battery will die permanently.

Do not use the MSC to fix the wiring, you can of course use it as reference so you know what's wrong if your setup, but always go back to the backup file, so you don't have the loose wires hanging.

I saw the wires going places that I'm not using, but I used MSCE to see if I had missed something, when I did it the car still wouldn't start so I thought it would be something else.
I'm sure I just messed the game up and will have to start over which isn't a big deal.

Was just hoping I could get some info maybe something else was wrong.

the editor makes a backup file, try that before you scrap everything. :(

You cant get the wiring wrong according to wiki pages for the game, wiring options only show up if the parts are in place for it to be displayed, some parts need unscrew etc to be able to wire it, but as long as you keep clicking F every tick location on wiring you end up getting them all

teh MSC editor thing, whilst i dont care about it being there and folks using it, i dont, so i dont understand how it effects the games mechanics, sry im old skool gamer no mods, cheats, hacks, and 3rd party software options for me

also i read batterys can complelety die altogether so you may new new battery perhaps ?

so...
a) run round the car with the wire in the hand whacking F at any tick locations (check guide section for a guide on wiring it, which shows the things that require a bolt procedure
b)charge, try a new battery etc

well sometimes the wiki isn't always right. whenever you need help, wiki isn't always the place to go to.
(also great job spelling it looks like a 3 year old typed all this out. and according to you your not old school you just don't trust the stuff and don't want to get a virus on your pc cuz your virus protection is probably out of date FYI. OR you just want to play the game. OR you don't have space, and you don't have space, cuz your too broke to buy a new hard drive.)P.S. How old are you, you seem very young by how your comment is. and your account is private...

When/where did he say that?

Why do you think that people don't trust something based only on the notion that they don't use it?

Are you sure this statement qualities as 'information'? It sounds more like speculation to me.

Again, how are you reaching all of these wild conclusions? I could go on some wild tangent like you did; saying something along the lines of "Why are you talking about buying a hard drive like that's still a thing 'real' gamers do, buy a couple Samsung 970 Pro's, and give your hard drive to your grandpa who should be the only person you know that still uses ancient tech like that."

but that would be rude, wouldn't it?

Easily the creepiest thing I've read today. Not just because of what was written, but also because of how it was written.

Life pro-tip: don't go all 'Grammar Nazi' at someone else's post without proof reading your own writing first, it nullifies your entire argument.
