Well guys I just finished swapping everything over from auto awd to fwd 5sp. everything has gone gravy till I try to turn on the car. I'm sure there's a safety switch somewhere in there, but i'm having a hard time locating it? The only thing not connected is the sensor in the front of the tranny (reverse?) and the clutch switch (under the dash/ safety switch?). The starter is brand new and does work because I can bypassed it. Once I turn the key nothing happens like if the car was in "d" . I have the auto shifter hooked up just in case that might help, but it doesn't. Only reason I don't just override the starter is because whatever is the problem also keeps the fuel pump from turning on. 0 psi on the gauge. Sorry so long, but i'm just trying to be as descriptive as possible.
p.s. There's a relay on top of the little fuse box inside that clicks whenever I turn the key?
 
I am not sure of the wires colors on the 2g, but on the 1g, there are two wires(they are black with yellow) that used to go to the PRNDL switch that need to be soldiered together. This is the Neutral Safety Switch. Basically, it completes the circuit to the starter solenoid. This circuit would normally be closed by the PRNDL switch on the auto trans when in Neutral or in Park.
As for the relay clicking, not sure. Perhaps its related to this but unsure. I'm not sure about the fuel pressure but it may just need to be started to get some fuel going.

A very quick search got me this. Check post 81. Hope his helps.

Ooo. This should help you out too.
 
Thanks a billion TheMadCheshire!!! I forgot THAT was the neutral switch. I ran to the garage and it turned right on! Only a few more days and we can start rally preps. LOL
