So i just had my SR rebuilt and we put it in sat. I wired it up sunday and monday, when i tried to start it on monday nothing. All interior lights work ECU red light turns on but when i turn it to start it clicks by the fuse box and shuts the interior lights off and then when i release the key it turns the radio lights ect. back on. any help?

All grounds on the engine and make sure everything is plugged in.
Start w/ the basics, you need spark/fuel/air

yeah the ground is tight.... another thing we noticed yesterday is the fuel pump is not turning on so my friend that did the wring on the engine harness is checking that out . But thats still not the cause of no cranking, just a slight click by the fuse box. Thanks for the input so far guys

Relays usually click when going bad, there's a fuel pump relay that controls the turn-on/off of the fuel pump.

Yea, I understand that. Mine was a constant clicking, and it was the fuel pump relay. My mistake, I believe this was actually when I had the starter wired up wrong. Grounded positive wire=no bueno.

Okay i relocated my battery but it started fine before with the ground where it was but i popped it off and sanded it down and still nothing.... maybe ill replace the relays. Where is the FP relay or fuse?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe s13=main engine bay relay and s14 is in the kick panel by the ecu
