Weird megasquirt problems
Hey everybody i something strange going on. With communication from megasquirt to turner studio. While ecu is plugged into the cars harness. It’s a ms2 unit. When the ecu is unplugged from the car and plugged in to my external 12v power source it will connect to tunerstudio no problem. When I plug the ecu into the cars harness and key on I get nothing thought maybe it was the battery took the battery to work charged it on a gr8 charging system that took diagnostics of it as well. Everything’s good plug it back in still nothing. One thing that is also strange is when the key is plugged in to the car and I plug the 12v power source in. With key off or on it will communicate but I have a weird clicking noise coming from under the dash.goes away ones I unplug the external power source. The cars a 1.6 it worked perfectly I swapped to a different 1.6 motor and now I’m having problems connecting. Also I updated firmware last night when I couldn’t connect at all to tunerstudio. If anybody has any idea what’s going on please let me know thank you

Assuming everything on the inside of the Megasquirt is still good (which you confirmed by plugging the 12V AC power adapter back in and it communicated), then that's the issue. All you need to communicate with it is power and ground. If you confirm that you don't have 12V on the proper pin (look up wiring diagram or ECU pinout to figure out which one), then check fuses, relays, and grounds.
