Need some electrical help
Background: I swapped a set of turbos and did simplified sequential on a friend's car. The car is pretty much stock for all intents and purposes.
Problem: The windows work, the door locks work, and when you turn the key to "ON" the warning lights come on as normal. BUT, I have no dash lights, no park lights or headlights. The headlights do work if you pull them to you "flash-to-pass" and the park lights only work in conjunction with the aftermarket alarm (i.e. they flash when arming and disarming the alarm)
Diagnosis: The engine will crank over, but will not start. In the beginning, I did accidentally blow the 120A main fuse on the positive battery terminal and got the same symptons that I have now. However, I replace that fuse and everything worked fine. I got the fuel pump primed and got the car ready to start, and then found a coolant leak. Here's the wierd part. I go in and fix the coolant leak (it was on the turbos) put everything back together and now I have this problem. I have checked the fuses under the dash, and the main panel on the battery terminal. I haven't diag'd any of the relays yet, but I don't think they should be bad, considering the circumstances. Any educated input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

Okay. I checked all of the relays for continuity today, as well as all of the fuses. They all checked out good. I also swapped the ECU with the one out of my car with no luck. I definitely appreciate any help that can be given.
