Default Help Needed::: Did wire tuck now fuel pump wont prime.

95 Civic DX D15B swap.

Everything was fine before. Plugged everything back up the same way, now the main relay doesn't click and the fuel pump doesn't prime. Check engine light on because of fuel pump. Been scouring my Haynes manuals wiring diagram, but I cant figure out what could be causing it.

Any help is appreciated!!

Mike

Have you already checked for blown fuses?

Is the main relay possibly bad?

Stupid question, but did your battery die in the process? I scared the sh** out of myself one time when I was doing some wiring. Turned out to just be my battery.

Checked fuses nothing wrong. And the main relay was working less then 24 hours before hand, no problems. Started up lickity-split.

Not the problem either. All lights turn on, car turns over, just no ignition. When car is turning over the lights don't even dim so I think it may just be a missed plug or something.

I double checked and the harnesses both inside and out have two exactly the same plugs. Male and female ends both have 11(3/5/3) wires going in and out of them. I may have plugged the wrong ones together.

Too dark to fiddle with this tonight. Ill check it tomorrow morning and get back to you guys.

Thanks to you both for the suggestions!

Have checked whether you have battery voltage at the main relay?

Nope don't have a volt meter. Might ask a friend to stop by tomorrow to help me with that.
