Default Doesnt start after swapping my dash Any ideas???

Well since its snowing and cold i figured id make a post and get some info till i can work on it tommorw..I swapped out my old dash(had white paint all over it) for a new one it was from a 99 so i just swapped harness and sensors so i wouldnt have any problems hooked everything up, no empty plugs ect. I got to start it and there is fuel just no spark...i unplug everything and pluged it back in still doesnt start cranks over just doesnt start... and ideas befor i pull the dash back out? i did try to start it the first time without the mainrelay plugs in then noticed it so pluged it in same thing..tryed the 99 relay and still no start.

if the car was working fine prior to the swap, then there is something you are over looking. retrace your step and be patient, it's most likely something simple.

don't forget to plug everything into the fuse box. double check all wires, make sure none are damaged, don't forget ground wires too, without them nothing will work.

just did a dash swap about 3 weeks ago. took all the wiring from the old dash and put it onto the new dash, had no problems.

checked all the fuses today no power to the starter signal took the dash out to see if i could see anything not hooked up or a bad ground and nothin...im going to throw it back in later and try to run a wire directly to the starter as i crank it over(tryed it already but wasnt cranking it over since i was alone) im starting to hate this car and ive only had it for a week
