Hello all-
Yes I have searched and searched and searched. Can't find anything related to my specific situation.
Pulled the motor for a rebuild and did a turbo kit at the same time. Also did the landtank alternator upgrade.
Everything worked fine prior to pulling.
I realized this is my fault but life happened and I initially pulled the motor almost two years ago. Can't exactly remember where everything went and my photos were mostly of the motor and not the wiring.
Everything is back together but when turning the key I get 3 clicks and the starter doesn't even try to do anything. It worked fine before pulling the motor. I tapped starter with a hammer - no change. I'm getting fuel because I can smell it and something is not tight enough either (small drip/leak - will fix but not main issue atm).
There seems to be no great wiring harness diagram to be honest. Everyone says "look at FSM" but its absolute garbage for where the grounds go. I have the small wire that goes to the manifold hooked up fine by the PS reservoir. The larger wire by the starter that seems to bolt to manifold but looks like it could go to starter [all black, thick, 'ribbed' eyelet] (closer to firewall, driver side) as well, is bolted in. The "main" ground off the engine harness that screws in by the engine mount (90* eyelet) is also bolted in where it belongs. The very large and super stiff wire that connects to "inner fender apron" (I've spent about 8 hours searching for where this goes and cannot find a *single* picture ****anywhere***) is connected to the metal bracket that screws into the driver's fender that holds two hard lines by the battery. I did the landtank alternator upgrade as well - I get this may be a "fusible link' issue as some of this is replaced with the kit. I followed the instructions but they/the pictures especially are uh...not very good imo so its hard to tell if I did it right. Its definitely more difficult when coming from nothing like the entire motor being removed so again probably my fault but stumped as to what is going on here.
The starter worked fine before pulling motor. The exciter wire is hooked up no problem and honestly now I can't even get it disconnected to try to jump the starter. The thick main starter wire off the harness with the plastic cap is connected.
No idea what is going on here as the wiring seems incredibly simple. Any suggestions welcome.
