nothing turning on when i turn the key
i’ve put in a new engine wiring harness, battery, and main relay in my 1990 crx dx.. when i turn it to accessory nothing turns on, i did relocate the battery to the trunk and i thought it was because of a weak ground so i added another one to the taillight harness but the same thing happens. i’ve tested all of the fuses with a dmm, the only ones i haven’t checked are those 50a ones. im thinking of checking all my grounds and adding a ground from the transmission to the frame.. i’m really stumped on what it could be.

i didn’t do the drivers side headlights harness, the one i have was cut off and it’s pretty mangled so i have to extend and solder those back on. do you think the grounds in that harness could be an issue? i didn’t think so but i can get that done this weekend. there’s also two sensors near the oil filter that were snipped off and the reverse sensor switch was also snipped off by previous owner. i’ll go back and double check everything thoughGo back through, retrace your work, check fuses and grounds, you left something undone.
have you checked the ignition switch?
Would it be correct to assume you did not grounded the engine/ transmission?im thinking of checking all my grounds and adding a ground from the transmission to the frame..
You should.
If you are running gnd cables to engine bay from battery make sure to use thicker cables than stock.
is there anything in particular i should be looking at or testing?have you checked the ignition switch?
no i have not, i have 4awg for the positive wire going to a distribution block, two 4awg wires from the distribution block going to the shock tower fuse box and starter solenoid. 1 4awg ground wire going to taillight bolt and another 4awg ground wire going to the chassis. will be grounding the engine soonWould it be correct to assume you did not grounded the engine/ transmission?

well failed/dirty contacts are a normal failure point in Hondas, so MAYBE start there. You're already showing the classic symptom of nothing comes on in run position. It happends about as often as a dead main relay or dead ignigtor.is there anything in particular i should be looking at or testing?
