Electrical Shocks Me

[C4RACER410]

First of all, I’m 71yo retired auto mechanic, but modern electronics terrifies me. I have a 2000 BMW Z3 Roadster with 2.5liter. I’m in the process of fixing it up to sell. Was running fine. Removed front seats to gain more access to remove center console. Replaced wood grain panels and reinstalled. Now engine turns over, no start. Crank sensor & fuel pump replaced. No power to FP. Checked fuses and relay. I need help

You need to get a code reader on it. Otherwise it's just guesswork. Where are you based, someone may be close who could help.

Doesnt the immobilizer (anti theft thingy) cut power to the fuel pump? Maybe the car has immibilized itself.

Would there be a reader code for that?

Did you have power a the fuses and relay? If not, check the positive terminal of the battery.
There are 2 cable that come off the terminal:
- big one to run the starter etc
- small one for the car electrics. This one has been known to corrode off and give the symptoms you describe.
