car not turning on

[shadowx3]

i purchase a 95 civic hatchback auto and i converted it to manual i swaped it and connected all the hardness and put on the cluth but the car wont turn on i connet the battery and the brake light stays on i dnot know why and when i turm the key it just clicks can anyone help me?

[DecoyOctopus]

when you turn the key, if it just clicks, its the battery. try jumping it

i cant even do that cuz the shift linkage is stuck wont allow me to move the car back or forward do you think somthing missing like wiring since it used to be auto

that won't be up to wiring...i can't think of anything.

what you mean?

I doubt wiring will cause the shift linkage not to move

thats wierd the linkage won't shift but clicking is a low battery or starter. you did use a 5 speed one correct.

i think cus my shift linkage is bent that allows it not to move so am guessing i need a new one am using part of a d sieres and b sieres so i need a b-sieres shift linkage

yeah man, if its just clicking, its the battery or starter. make sure you put a manual starter on that bitch.

the swap runs came out of my coupe but hopefully thats the problem and also when i connect the battery why do the brake lights turn on and stay on even when the key is off? weired also the taillights

[preferredduck]

you need to use a b-series linkage or d-series depending on the swap you have, if it's bent and you started it you wouldn't go anywhere. after the linkage try jumping it or see if a neighbor has a portable jump box, the brake lights are a mystery to me.

Id check the brake switch up at the bottom, behind the pedal. Check your wiring diagram.
