I just finished an LS swap into my VT wagon, and have gone to try and start it for the first time. I’m using all the computers from the V8 donor car, and when I put the donor key in the ignition, it give power to my accessories (wipers, stereo, lights etc; ) and I get the battery light but no other lights on the cluster. But when I turn it to start, nothing happens, no fuel pump, not even a click from the starter. Also, the trip computer doesn’t show anything, not even my odometer. Does anyone know what the Problem could be?

They shouldn’t have needed to be linked since the ECU, PIM and the BCM are all from the same donor car, should they? I didn’t reuse the original car’s BCM

Did you use the donor car key fob?
