Your missing a vital wire next to one. The right side is there but the left side is empty. This cable goes from the battery positive and give power to everything including ignition.

Ok.
So
Battery (+) to Starter motor
Battery (+) to left side of that fuse box.
Alt to rightside of that fuse box via injectors and engine loom etc
Battery (-) to Chassis
Engine to chassis

I got these wrong once and got the same results as you.
Other that that i cant think of anything else.

I bet its something stupidly simple.

I'm pretty sure that is the auto interlock solenoid that mounts on the ignition barrel and stops you taking the key out when the car in not in park.

I forgot about this when I did my auto to manual conversion and first drive was great unit untill I couldn't take the friggin key out the ignition!!! I had to pull all the fuses to get the key out and then lock the car!!!

Solved my mearley unplugging though!

Danni, some reference might help. All these boxes look the same, but youre not telling us where they are in the loom.

To be honest what you should've done is installed the whole loom and got the car running, then started removing things. Right now you don't know what you've removed and it's not working, which makes it near on impossible for us to try and help..
