Ok, well here's some background info.
I bought a 2004 rs with a blown motor in hopes of swapping ...soon a friend crashed his wrx and i bought it with rear end damage only.
Before i started the swap ...i started the wrx in my driveway and it ran perfectly ....just no driving because the rear was smashed to hell.
Soon i started the swap and i learned of all the things that actually have to be swapped over. ......i decided to swap over the entire wrx harness, which soon included everything.
(LITERALLY EVERY WRX WIRING PART HAS BEEN SWAPPED OVER, IF IT HAD A WIRE ON IT THE WRX VERSION WENT IN THE CAR)....except the gas tank, here i used a wrx fuel tank harness on the 04 tank. It plugged in the the fuel pump, the drivers side 2 wire and one center sensor, however there was a sensor that was in use on the 04rs setup, but had no plug for it on the wrx fuel tank harness.
Today i finally had the engine back in, all the things needed to start the car were there, and i tried to start the car, no luck. Here's where things get bad.
A whole stray of electrical problems came up and ill start a list of what they were.
1.Abs kept pulsing, and would only stop when the key was in running position, or we stepped on the brake.
2.We didn't hear the fuel pump but we smelled gas.
3.Wipers will turn off only in the intermittent slot....all other places they turn on.
4.We hooked up a scanguage to the obd2 port, and it got power, but no reading or connection to the ecu (im not sure but i think the term is no data link?)
5.Windows work even when the key is out of the ignition.
6.We got the battery idiot light, but only after trying to start, before that just sitting in running pos. it would be off.
7. upon turning the key to anything other than off ....i would get an odd whine, then the wipers would go off once, then nothing.
Still no start up or for that matter even any attempted cranking. I'm thinking it could be a short somewhere but I'm really no good with wiring so I'm asking those with more authority in this matter.
I'm trying my best at everything i do here but I'm getting a little fed up with my choice to swap.
Being that I'm 16,, every penny i saved up went in to buying my car and the donor car....I don't have the option of selling it as an incomplete swap, and i don't have big money to send it out to a shop for the wiring.....can anyone help out a guy who's trying his best but is up to his neck in trouble?
If so thank you very much and may what ever deity you pray to bless you
