How’s it going guys. So I’ve been rebuilding my d17a vtec motor in my 01 civic, first time I put it back in I screwed up on the bearings. Had to pull motor out and redo it. Now that that’s all good, I put the motor back in and car would not crank or start. I pulled the engine harness with the motor, and now I hear a clicking coming from the orange fuse in the passenger glove box which is supposedly an ecu relay, I tried replacing it and it still isn’t working, any ideas? I’m thinking maybe I frayed a wire pulling the harness out of the firewall? Do you guys think I need a new harness ? Any help is greatly appreciated.

so yeah actually forgot to mention that I put a new starter as well because I thought maybe that was the problem. Do you think it could be a connection somewhere?

if it is not cranking and the battery is good, then just directly fire the starter

Could be explained by an almost dead battery after sitting to the side during rebuild. Make sure it's fully charged.
