Default Starting trouble...

Hey guys, I just replaced my radiator 30 mins ago. Everything went perfectly. There was no problem whatsoever, until I went to start the car. When in theon position, everything is fine; fuel pump turns on, radio turns on, lights and everything else works. The engine will not turn over, or even click as it does with a poor battery connection. It's as if I am trying to start the car without depressing the clutch. I cannot figure out what is going on. I did connect back all the electrical plugs, the battery terminal was tightened back up good. Anything I might be totally forgetting? Or anyone with a similar experience. It doesn't sound like it has anything to do with the radiator swap, but it would bea pretty wierd coincidence. Any help appreciated.

Twoelectricalharnesses ran over the top of the radiator, so I had to disconnect them to lift the radiator up out of the car.

No we have a fuse box located in front of the radiator. Do you have a test light?
