Help-psu wont turn on

so i got an evga500 watt non modular 80 plus gold psu and when i plug it into a wall outlet through an extension cord it wont turn on. im doing an egpu set up with the gdx exp mini pcie to pcie. i plug the six pin into my gpu and an 8 pin into the gdc. the fan doesnt spin and i dont think theres an indication light.

Might wanna change that spelling on the evag PSU, lul. You could try sticking it in another computer to see if it works or just powering up a single fan. You need to short your green wire coming from the 20/24 pin with any black wire. like this.

 

i dont have another computer right now, i have a laptop and this is my second one so im thinking its something on my end.
