not turning over

[klmx08]

So Ive got this klde I just swapped and I went to start it and im not getting anything I can hear the pump turn on when I turn the key but I get nothin the wierd part is when I turn the key back to the off postion the horn beeps...Has this happened to anyone else? Just for more info its a 96 626 engine with a 93 k8 harness kl55 ecu from a 94 626/mx6 and and a I changed the disty to a 072 (because the 96 is different) and the vaf is from the same car I got the kl55 off from..Its really weird why would I hear the pump pumping but the engine is not cranking? And why the hell does the horn beep when I shut the key off??

Also I took the disty out and left the plugs plugged in and spun the rotor by hand and it was sparking..

Does nothing = no starter - engine does not turn over?

Troubleshoot connections to the starter especially grounds.

Did the car ever have an alarm on it?

Its funny you say that cause that was the first thing I did today I took the graound plug off and sanded the post pluged it back in and boom runing engine...but still when I turn the key off the horn does beep and before the swap it did not do that..I dont think it had a alarm on it and if that was the case wouldnt it have done it before the swap?

Maybe somehow horn contacts are exposed to ignition and when ignition is turned certain way it activates horn?

That nails it down.

Sorry man I was going to take a shot in the dark as well but decided to save myself the embarrassment. Question is what receives a signal when the ignition is turned off?

yeah its cool any sugestions help..obviously I wouldnt be asking if I knew what it was its not really a big deal just wondering its a de going into an rs I knew there would be wrinkles to smooth out

Something must be shorting. I did a de swap into an rs and had nothing happen with the horn.
