Default 300volts to starter!
So i recently swapped an h22a4 into my 94 prelude and moved the fuse box into the passenger side by the ecu and now my multimeter is reading 300 milivolts to the starter! Any ideas on why?

Meter problems? Where on the vehicle do you get that kind of voltage?

That means zero really. What do you get with KOEO. Lights? Turn to start and anything? Clicks?
We need something to go on.
I have the factory info for it if you need something.

So all the dash lights work as well as the headlights no clicks from the starter, I just pulled the main relay and it smells burnt so I’m gonna replace that right now and see what happens
