The ECU takes it's power directly from the battery via the starter motor.

The wire had snapped off the starter motor.

Ran wire directly to the battery, pump primed and it fired straight up.

There's 3 wires going to the starter and 2 posts.

Engine turns over but engine loom has no power.

It's just a lazy way for Peugeot to get power to the loom since it runs behind the engine. I made a live feed straight from the battery. since electrically this is how it's connected anyway.

I'll get pictures when I get the car home at the end of the month.
