Default Starting issues - 92 VX, JDM H22, main relay is not turning on.

hey, I'm having starting issues and I'd GREATLY appreciate your guys' experience and advice since I'm pretty pissed and stumped at this issue

I just transferred my jdm h22 from my 93 EX over to a 92 VX. My EX with the H22 ran flawless with zero issues the whole time, and the 92 VX was also running with no problems.

Both cars parked, and the transferring begun. I swapped the H22 from the EX to the VX, leaving the EX harness on the H22 (with it being adapted already) and just connecting the EX engine harness to the VX shock tower harness. Knock sensor had to be added again.

I also took out the dash for stripping/cleaning, and modified no wires, other than adding knock sensor to D3, and connecting the harnesses at the shock towers.

When I try and start the car, the main relay does not turn on at all, thus not turning on the fuel pump and no spark as well. I have checked all fuses several times with me thinking it's either a fuse or must be a simple dumb error (with either grounding or some harness not fully clipped in), but the relay refuses to turn on when the key goes to the ON switch.

I also switched out the main relays from my EX to the VX to be sure it's not the relay, as well as jumped wires according to the 92-95 Civic Helms manual, and both relays click.

As for ECU's, my P13 ran fine the whole time, but I also have tried the stock P07 and still the same results!

What I'm thinking is some harness is probably not clipped in the whole way, not completing the circuit, or there is some ground in the dash area, etc that I am missing. I have checked that grounds at the tranny to the frame rail, thermostat housing, valve cover ground, and battery ground, is there something else?

At this point, I'm pretty burnt out, and any input/advice for those of you who know would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm dying to have this car running!!

TIA.
