Please help me out here guys.

I just finished my auto 2g. When I turn the key to the accessory position I can here the fuel pump kick on, along with a loud clicking from some relays located on on the passenger side. I think they are the fuel pump relays. It will do this 3 times and then stop. I try to start the car but it wont even crank. I notice when I try to crank my car, the tach jumps slightly to 1000 and the fuel pump kicks on while i'm turning the key. Maybe grounding issue?

I relocated the battery to the trunk, but other than that everything is the same. To relocate the battery, I ran 0 gauge from the starter> harness> 150a breaker> battery. The negative it grounded to the rear strut tower. My dash lights work and so do all of my accessories.

I also don't know where this plug into:

You can here the clicking clearly but the fuel pump is also kicking on in the same intervals as the clicking.
any advice is appreciated.

That's the fuel and mpfi relays since the fuel pump is running may be the mpfi relay. Also the ground needs to be really well connected I would make sure your ground wire is bolted through the main unibody and the paint is stripped so the wire is on metal.
 
Check to make sure you have no shorts in your battery wires. The same thing happened to my buddy's 2g last year. We originally thought it was a bad relay b/c it was clicking just like yours is, but it turns out his positive wire from his battery was rubbing against a corner of the body and the wires were exposed and shorting out.
 
Alright, I got it fixed. I'm an idiot and didn't run an engine ground.
