Default Nitrous wiring help

Ive been dealing with this nitrous kit for way too long..I usually don't have any trouble with wiring..but I've looked at several different manuals online an tried them bout but I do not get anything from the solenoid..an the arming switch does not light up either...could this be a grounding issue maybe? I do have like 3 connections grounded to the same bolt? And is there a way to ground multiple connections instead of having 3 connectors to one bolt lol

Sounds like your missing something simple. It could be the main switch is bad or the relay is no good, or more than 1 problem which will drive you nuts. If the main arming switch isn't showing power nothing downstream is going to work. Go back and review & verify each step with a test light. You could splice the wires together into one common end.

Yes the grounds. Start with main switch and use your test light to confirm power and ground is good coming in and going out at each step of the install.

I'm gettin good.power an.ground using my light tester..and I found the problem I believe..it was the 3 wires.going to the arming switch..not the wot switch..I had the 12v wire an ground wire.reversed..NOW after.correcting that..now when I get ready to.arm the.switch a blow a fuse...then once again I.very.carefully check every little.thing an I still don't know why I'm blowing.fuses..I even tried.reversing the wires.on the solenoid.but I assume the two wires are universal.since they.are both black

Sounds like you grounded a hot wire or else you have one pinched somewhere and its shorting out. disconnect everything and reconnect & test one step at a time at a time..
