My 2013 1.8 auto needed a new engine. I've replaced the engine only, using the original harness.
After I finished hooking everything back up and filling the oil and coolant, it has a no crank issue.
There is power at the starter and if you jump the solenoid it will crank but not start.
With the key on, all lights on the dash come on, but if I turn the key to crank, the dash and display lose all power and no sounds or cranking happens.
I've checked all fuses and relays. I'm running out of things to check before I start taking everything apart again.

I'm hoping someone here can think of some ideas that I cant think of.
Thanks for any help!

Hello, I have the same problem. I put a 2013 engine into my 2015 and it wont crank. It does a bunch of wierd things when I turn the key on, wipers go on, lights flashing, etc...
I went underneath and jumped the starter and it turns over as it should. I beleive it is probably a security system / anti theft problem. Did you ever find out what was wrong with your car and how did you fix it?

Only problem I had is that I have a 2012 Chevy Cruze With 1.4 and I put a 2013 Chevy Cruz 1.4 L engine in my 2012 using the same computer after everything was put back in and with new battery and stuff none of the cars interior lights outside lights car will not crank or turn over at all I don’t know what happened everything worked before when I had my original motor using the original computer as well and it works fine to replace the engine so I don’t know if my computer needs to be reprogrammed for everything to work again or not it’s a newer car I’ve never had to have a computer program on engine swap if that’s the case y’all need to let me know cause I’m going to GM to find out tomorrow I thought that maybe something wasn’t hooked up right but everything is hooked up correct

Hello, I have the same problem with my 2015 cruze. Did you fix the problem and how did you do it?
