I had a feeling some one would say that.. But really I traced the whole harness and tried every other thing in the book and still nothing. I've made sure to be a thousands times more careful with the donor cars harness and label every thing clearly. Failure is the secret to success so I just need to learn from this ;p but thank you again for your time.

Thank you all so much for the help! But I found a donor car for my v8 swap so Im switching focus to that now. Hopefully I'll have a thread going when things get a bit more interesting.

It did drive

I was able to figure that out after I followed both red wires all the way threw the harness. I guess every penny counts to datsun :/. Could I have fried the ECU by switching them up? If there's any one in the New Mexico area that would be willing to help me out I'd gladly buy them a beer or two haha!

I've checked and rechecked that things are plugged in. I've even put the harness in with out the dash just in case some thing was hiding. I just plugged every thing back in and only the dash and heads lights come on. It doesn't help the guy before butchered a lot of the wiring in side the engine bay too. Huff I blame gremlins x_x

yes only voltage and it stays on all the time. it was like that when I got it too I do not think so. I dont have every thing plugged in right now I got the dash lights to come on and the head lights come on also all fuses look ok

These correct? They look fine if so.

I’m super embarrassed and I need some help. I bought a 76 280z a couple months ago. The first thing I decided to do was restore the dash. After I was done with the dash and put it back in the car it wouldn’t start or crank just nothing. I realized I mixed up the two red wires on the battery terminals and I figured that was a real bad thing. So I replaced the main relay thinking it burned out when I did that but still nothing. I’ve read the wiring guides over and over and taken most of the harness apart to see If I could find any thing. I thought it might be some safety or security thing so I’ve tried to hard wire a few of those and still nothing. I know the starter works because the guy before me put a direct button start on it and the car ran fine before I got my hands on it. Is there some way to hot wire it or make it start with some kind of switch system? I really don’t care about looks I plan to do a v8 swap and track the car at some point. It would just be nice to be able to drive it around for now. I have no idea what stupid n00b thing I did, but any help would be great. Thank you for your time and I cant wait to be apart of this forum!
