Hey guys, I'm new to this forum. I've been on Jeepin for a while but I decided to sign up now because I'm having a major problem and Jeepin just isn't giving me the info I need. I just completed a 2.5/Ax-5 to 4.0/AW4 swap on my 98XJ. The 4.0 itself is from a 97, the engine control harness from a 98. The AW4 is from an 87, and currently is not connected electronicaly to the engine in any way. The main harness is stock.

When I go to start my engine, nothing happens. The engine doesn't crank, the starter solenoid doesn't click. The starter is brand new, and the battery is full. I think the problem has to to with the NSS, or the automatic shutdown relay but those are just guesses. Thanks for your help.
