Hey guys I just did an AWD/5 Speed swap and I can't get this thing to start.

I searched and searched and searched, but the only reference that has any sort of pic of the Park/Neutral plug isn't that great of a picture. Furthermore, other threads say that they wired the outer black wires....none of my plugs are both black. They are blue and black...etc.

Another thing that is bothering me is that my fans aren't cutting on when I turn my key to the accessory mode (I have ECMlink and they are supposed to be always on). I know on my auto everytime I set it to that the fans would run.

There is absolutely ZERO response when I turn the key and attempt to start the car. My dad took the switch off my old auto tranny and he has it in such a way to mimic it being in neutral, but the only thing that happens is a single "Click" in the car.

I tried to get my computer to connect to the ECU to no avail. It keeps saying "No response received" as I was trying to see if there might have been some sort of automatic setting that I needed to change over.

I can't possibly be the only person that has encountered this issue. Any help would be MUCH appreciated.
