Hey guys I hot a 2007 2.0l ss and the tranny went in it after we replaced it and everything besides the axles are back in but now I have no start no crank lights on the dash and the radio turns on but no start. I am new to working on domestic vehicles any one got an idea on what it could be

 

You didn't connect something right; likely didn't connect a handful of things right.

Based on everything wrong, I'd say you likely don't have the fuse box reconnected properly, but there are also some important grounds that get disconnected when dropping the transmission.

Did you properly connect all the power lines to the jumper nub on the fuse box?

EDIT: on an LSJ (05-07), there also a couple connectors that can be accidentally swapped, if you aren't careful and/or don't know what you're doing. I want to say it's the SCIP and VSS connectors that are the same and on the same strand, but I can't remember. I label all my connections with a wrap of painters tape when I disconnect them to avoid this problem.

 

I took pictures of almost all the conections and put the toghther exactly the same as when it came off. all sensors are hooked up properly and theres only 2 wires that go to the hub on the fuse box right

 

Check the battery for proper voltage?

 

Has proper voltage and everything electrical seemes hooked up correctly

 

Sounds like possibly an issue with your CPPS ? havent touched my trans yet but if everything is getting power and you crank it and it wont even crank maybe its not seeing that your clutch is down all the way.

 

Check your PCM connections. Make sure the swing clips are snapped down all the way. If one of those is loose, your PCM won't communicate with other things, like your BCM, which is responsible for the cluster... which may be why you aren't getting any action there.

 

Just checked and it's getting power and all the sensors on the tranny are brand new I needed a new tranny when I got the old one out to rebuild it it was gernaded

 

Okay I'll clean my pcm and the pcm conections and see if that's the problem

 

You shouldn't need to "clean" your PCM or its connections. Make sure that the pins aren't crushed or misaligned from being forced into the wrong sockets. Then you just need to make sure that the correct colored clamps are in their proper positions, and that the swing-tabs are properly latched.

You shouldn't be able to swap the connectors positions, as they have unique profiles to prevent it, but I've seen stranger things happen. So make sure the blue connector is in the blue position.



Next, you have to make sure that the grey "swing-tabs" used to remove and connect the connectors are properly latched all the way down. That's what fully engages the pins to the connector.


If those things are good, then you need to start checking your grounds.

 

Alright then, have you checked the Clutch Starter Safety Switch?

 

The pcm goes blue black grey right they all went in smoothly and clipped on just fine and for the grounds I only had to take 3 off from the same bolt does that sound right to you?

Yeah, there's a couple grounds all connected to the transmission in one spot. Starter, main body (goes under driver's headlight), and something else, iirc.

Did you disassemble the fuse box when you pulled the transmission?

If yes, then the connections in there need to be checked. Were the bolts that hold it together properly torqued?

If you left the fuse box alone, you might have a bum PCM.

It's hard to diagnose fully without a little more info.

If all else fails, you aren't to far from Powell Race Shop... but I'm not sure how much diagnosing and fixing he's interested in doing these days though.

EDIT: even if all the grounds are in place, it might be worth taking them off and cleaning the connections. These cars are poorly grounded as is... and they don't like being even poorlier grounded. Same applies for the power leads under the Jumper Knob on the fuse box. Clean them up and make sure that everything is properly torqued.

EDIT2: Does the security light in the cluster come on when you turn the key to on?

 

I did have the fuse box out those grounds are clean my dad said he torqued it for me but I will double check it and I'll head to powels and see what he says

 

Take the fuse box apart again, make sure the connectors go back into their appropriate slots properly, and then reassemble.

Sometimes the fuse box connectors get skewed and then they won't make their connections properly.
