I had the engine out of my EF XR6 to replace a leaky timing cover gasket. I put it back in and hooked everything up (I think). The rad hoses and fans haven't gone back in yet. The battery is fully charged. I tried to start it - the dash lights go as normal, but the fuel pump doesn't prime and the engine makes no attempt to turn over. The starter cable is securely tightened. Have I overlooked something? Or have I fried some electronics somewhere in the process? Thanks all.

Found it! The earth cable to the engine and the second wire to the starter motor were both not connected. Doh! Must have been half asleep putting the car back together. False alarm. Thanks.
