Question electrical advice for a dummy..help

Ok so I finished my 2.3l build or so I thought and went to change my injector scaling when I connect the battery and.....NOTHING.

I've had so much apart and deleted on this car that I need other opinions on something I could be over looking.
So far I know I have power to the starter but nothing to the relays, lights or interior as nothing comes on.
I've checked grounds and the battery...

Here's the list...

Dash was removed to replace shifted linkage, delete ac, and replace my hvac.

My gauge cluster had an aftermarket overlay that I removed and a single bulb was missing?

Injector driver plug was spliced together to run 2150s

Injector harness was spliced for pigtails

The metal plate that held the driver box and other weird plugs on it was removed( possible grounds?)

Open plugs are fpr solenoid, evap, egr, oem boost pill, a/c...

My rear o2 harness had some cel fix wired into the harness. I spliced it back together.

Im lost and need a fresh perspective. Tomorrow ill go back at it with a test light but I don't understand why I have power to the starter but nothing else? Not even the door buzzer

Something big didn't get plugged back in it seems. When you say the starter has power do you mean the big power wire or the smaller exciter wire? The bigger wire is direct from the battery so it should have power no matter what as long as the battery is hooked up.

I'd start by double checking the connectors at the fuse boxes, if that much doesn't work it'll be something simple.

sounds like a case of hand over handing, hate to say it. might find more than one problem. this would be easier if i had my hood popped.

I guess I was just exhausted to the point of stupidity last night. It was the cable that goes to the fuse block came off the terminal and was hidden behind the tranny...wow im glad it was simple

Glad you found it! It's pretty easy to start overthinking things when it comes to electrical, pretty much everyone's had that kind of "moment" before!
