No crank no start

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

Honestly, it sounds like a bad ground. Reconfirm that the battery terminals are clean and tight, the ground to the engine is clean and tight as well as other grounds from the battery (There are a total of three) and make sure the connections at the starter are tight. I have a feeling when installing the new engine, one of the body grounds were damaged.

I attached two pictures of the starting system. I overlapped them so you could follow them. Note the three body grounds. Also, note fuses.

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe

I appreciate your rely. i am going over it now. I will let you know what i come up with.

So i checked and cleaned all grounds , still no crank , no start , i tested all fuses , and found that the top section of my fuse panel under the hood is not getting any power for whatever reason, when i turn key on. information center lights up then shuts off still, but found when i shut my headlights off the information center turns back on. i jumped the starter and my car fired right away. i still need to resolve no crank no start.

Okay, if the grounds are good, then there is either a weak connection in the power distribution box or there is an issue with one of the pins. I have attached the plugs which are on the back side of the box. You need to check these for one that is disconnected, corrode, or got damaged during the work. I attached the legends so you can see what each plug powers.

Let me know if this helps.

Joe
