Car won't start after rebuilding
i recently finished rebuilding my car and i went to turn the key and nothing. I got a couple of connectors that i dont know where or what they go to. i fot 2 black connectors on the ecu side that i dont know what they connect to, i got a white/clear 2 pin connector on the fuse box by the pedals. i also dont have any of the center console warning stuff i dont know if it matters.
things that dont work
no tail lights
no interior lights
i thought maybe a bad ground but i checked all of the grounds and they are all fine
i also connected together the fuse boxes in the engine

if your car was an automatic at one point then those 2 black connectors next to the ecu went to a little computer thing that was there. it was something for AT cars. not relevant if you are MT.
i dont know about the plug next to your fuse box.... a picture maybe?
the most important ground that i found is the one that goes from the hook on the back of the UIM to the firewall. with that ground not connected the car wont even crank.
