hey i just did a complete over haul on my motor and drivetrain rebuilt motor new clutch and clutch accessories new drive axles ne mounts and bushings new hose well u get the idea....but when we try to start it the fuel pump gets no power and also when i take the key out my dash lights and window switch lights stay on also my fuel gauge needle stays at the 3/4 mark and temp needle way off the hot zone what can be the culprit any info will do....could it be a short...mixed wire connect...im somewhat frustrated cause ive been doing this overhaul for 8 months

Could be a lot of things . Do you have your crank and cam position sensors connected to the right terminals???
You'll have to start doing some testing ....................

spark

compression

Make sure all of the sensors are plugged into the harness correctly.
