s13 vert 5 speed swap no crank

[streetprototype]

So Ive followed everything to a t, besides wiring up the reverse lights. I'm just trying to make sure I can crank my motor, then I can I finish up everything To actually start it. I jumped the connector on the bottom located on the passenger side fuse box by cutting off the connector and connecting both black and brown wire. All write ups I read said do this and car will start or at least crank over. But to my dismay, it doesn't. Any suggestions? Am I missing something on this part of the wiring? ThanksThe Part to jumper together actually states to cannibalized the auto trans connector by cutting it off jump the two wires then insert to connector. Do I really need that plug in connector?

So long as there is a solid connection on that circuit, you're golden. Double check you don't have a blown fuse on the starting system. Also, ensure the starter is connected. Sometimes, the solenoid's ground can come lose and look like it's still connected. Also, are you using a manual starter or an auto starter? There is a difference.

thanks for replying. i actually got it to crank over. it was an oversight on my end. it ended up being a black and white 2 wires instead of the actual brown and black wires. but an issue i came across is everything is normal and operating well as far as lights go. BUT, when i turn on the headlights. the clock light turns off,but is on when i dont turn on the headlights. dummy lights still work. any suggestions?
