I just removed the battery to change intercooler piping and when i put the battery back in to start it up, im not getting anything. When u turn the key u can hear the fuel pump but the starter isnt cranking. Removed the starter and put power to it to make sure solenoid was engaging and everything seems fine.
How do i test to make sure there the wiring is good? just check the resistance i assume.
 
Did you sit the battery down on cement or concrete? That drains batteries pretty good. You may have killed your battery.

Given this is told more to be a myth these days... this much is true...

There are some truths behind this myth, though! All batteries do self-discharge over time when they are not being charged. If dust and dirt build up on the battery tops, sulfuric acid will carbonize the grime into an electrical conductor, acting like a short circuit across the terminals and quickly draining the power. Cold temperatures also reduce available power from a battery. And thermal gradients can reduce the life of large battery...this can occur when the air temperature around a battery is much warmer than the surface it is sitting on.
 
Have you checked the starter relay. but also could be the bat. go to a autozone or auto part store where they check them. good luck bro
 
relay is working. unplugged the clutch switch in case that wasnt working and still nothing!!!!!!!
 
Is there 12v at the positive cable that connects to the starter. Sounds like that cable didn't get connected. Also there is a one wire connector by the thermostat housing that relays ignition wire power, so if it is unhooked it won't crank either.
 
well i finially figured it out. There was a triangular plug that wasnt plugged in that caused it not to get power next to the battery. No clue what it is or that it was even needed, just happen to plug it in for shits and i got power
