New engine, no electricity going to anything except headlights.
Hi sorry if this is a newb question but I did an engine swap (same engine rebuilt), I cant seem to figure out why when I turn the key nothing on the dash lights up, no fuel pump priming anything. Main relay is intact, ignition was working fine before the swap. Brand new battery so its not that. Im thinking of getting a new ignition switch to try. What do you all think to try?

I'm still having the same problems. The grounds I checked were:
1) ground by the intake manifold front
2) ground wire behind the head (is there a certain way the bracket is supposed to be oriented)
3) ppf ground near rear or car
Am I missing a ground somewhere? Once again, simply no power going to any accessories or the dash.

Best bet is to do continuity test. It will show if a connection is being made or not. Most you can setup to beep when you touch the wires together.
So basically start checking the following.
For example, it should beep from the positive lead post of the battery, to the positive battery clamp that clamps to the battery post. Because they are clamped together with a bolt. But if that connection were dirty and not working electrically, then it wouldn't beep and your car would not have power.
If all worked, it would show continutity from the battery positive to various fuses for example.
Grounds would all show continuity from the negative post of the battery to whatever they are attached to if they are OK.
So basically start checking the following.
- If it should be a connection, does it beep?
- If it should not be a connection, does it not-beep?
For example, it should beep from the positive lead post of the battery, to the positive battery clamp that clamps to the battery post. Because they are clamped together with a bolt.
