Check if you have the ABS computer: See Post #150
or
Check if you have the ABS actuator in the engine bay
or
Check if you have wheel speed sensors at each wheel.
or
Check if you have the ABS relay in the fuse box in the engine bay
I could be wrong but a quick way might be to turn the key but not start it and see if there's an ABS light
Sounds like you may have hooked it to the wrong relay socket. Please contact me directly at the email I sent you.
My guess would be you might have bent a pin on the ACC relay
Did you run the battery flat?
It got plugged into the wrong connector. The closest wiring books I have suggest the relay is for a cooling fan- But that doesn't seem likely to cause his issue.
I asked him to check all the fuses in hopes it's something simple.

This quite literally fixed my stuck passengers side front window that wouldnt roll at all. The module gave the window enough juice to break free on my old 300,000 mile window channels. Lubed everything with a touch of silicone spray and everything works darn good now and actually rolls up and down all the way.
Great product.
Great product.
I think the place to start is figuring out what that relay does that you plugged the Window Rocket into. I have all wiring manuals for LHD gas 80 series. None of my books show that relay. Searching online it is listed as a cooling fan relay in one place.
If it's a total mystery, one way to troubleshoot it is to hook up a wire toner to it. These send a frequency through the wire and you follow it with an antenna on the receiver to find where it goes.
Can you post a quick video of what it does/doesnt do? Does it crank, and not start? Or will it not even crank?
It won’t crank but there is a loud buzzing sound coming from the starter area when I try to crank.

Trying to figure out how to post a video
Which of those relays did you accidently plug the Window Rocket into? The round upper left one next to where you plugged the Window Rocket into?
It is the only other one with the correct form factor. On my EWD (1996 LX450), that is the DEFOG relay. Is it the DEFOG relay on your truck as well?
Buzzing could be a relay.
Yes, exactly - the upper left to where it is now…
Assuming it is the rear window defogger in your model, plugging the WIndow Rocket into that relay, even if you had the rear defog switch on, would have done nothing.
Check your starting battery voltage. With Key in the On position, make sure you have power on each fuse, on both fuse blocks: Engine bay and dash. ATO/ATC fuses can be checked in position...
Thank you very much for your help. I will let you know how we get on.
