the car wont start. there light inside the car and window roll down and unlock .... but when i turn the key the car doesnt make a click or anything....

i switch a new alternator and a new starter too and noting its still the same. the car wont start or make any starter clicking sound....

car was running fine before i took out the engine to get it frame repair...

There is no ground on the starter... the starter body grounds itself to the engine. If you have painted the block, all paint must be removed at the contact area where the starter body meets the block. You should have 12V+ on the big wire coming from the battery that bolts on to the starter with a 12mm nut, and the smaller wire with the female spade connector should have 12V+ when you turn the key to "START". Check both of these with a multi-meter.

there not paint on it and I did check with the tester and there is 12 volt

the car was fine when I got it and when I rip out the engine and put it back it was like this. The mechanic told me it’s could be the engine harness could be bad becuase the starter and engine isn’t working when it new

The testing that I outlined above helps troubleshoot whether you have a harness problem or not... if there is no 12v+ on the starter spade when the key is turned to the "start" position, then check the same wire at the ignition switch and try again. If you get 12v+ there, then you have a break in the wire between the ignition switch and the starter.

You need to go over everything that you did... unless this failure is simply coincidence, You have done something wrong.
