Help electrical nightmare
Is anyone out there knowledgeable about CJ 7 80 to 83 wiring harness? I'm having a heck of a time getting it to work. I have spend the last several weekends working on this with my 81 CJ with not much luck. I'm really hoping to get this rig on the road soon and this is one of my last big barriers.

No it's not totally stock. I have torn this jeep apart before but never had this kind of trouble. I'm not great with electrical so I was hoping that someone with better knowledge could help out. It has a 258ci AMC for an engine. The tub is fiberglass and it has a ground wire kit on it. I do have electrical diagrams and used them to set the wiring harness up. My weakness comes down to how to check it. I'm not real good with a volt meter and somewhere I'm missing a connection or something.

Well that's the problem. It's not doing much of anything. After I put it together, I tried turning the engine over to see if there was any juice getting to the starter. Nothing there. Here's something strange. I tried bypassing the solenoid and nothing happened. I thought that was weird. The battery and starter are new. The battery is grounded and so is the starter. Any idea why that is?
