Engine compartment was cleaned out, fuel, oil, all fluids dumped. I replaced the main wiring harness, cleared all faults. When I turn key to on position i can se the dash light up and go thru its routine, all normal. But when i place the key in start position to start the car, the dash blacks out and no start. If I wait 10 secs the dash will relight as if nothing happened. If I leave the key in on position and cross terminals on starter engine will crank but not start
