My son replaced his transmission and now the engine will not turn over. When I place the ignition in the "on" mode before starting it, the headlights come on. It did not do that before and the battery is brand new. When I try to start it, there's nothing. The lights don't dim and the selonoid does not kick in. I can hear the fuel pump kick on and all other elctrical devices seem to work.

Could he have not connected the starter correctly (I wasn't with him, he wanted to do it on his own) now dad has to rescue him. Please help!

**No crank at all/nothing/nada when key is engage to starting position

Could be a blown fusible link, the starter, starter relay, clutch switch/park and neutral switch/transmission position switch and ignition switch assuming the battery condition and connections are good. Note:If it doesn't apply disregard.

Check for power at the small push in wire on the starter with key on crank, this is the solinoid wire, if there is power here and main cable is connected and live, the starter will proberbly be faulty, check this as well.

Not Cranking Over
When your engine is not cranking (turning) over it will be mainly due to three separate areas, first it could be the battery, cables or poor connection, next is the starter...
