Put new engine in, now no electrical.

[StryfeS13]

I just finished putting in my new KA and now my headlights dont flip up or down, but they turn on. My horn doesnt work. My cluster lights dont work. My light in the headliner doesn't work, etc.

Any clue what could be going on? Bad ground? IDK I'm not very smart with electrical.

ground... almost definitely if you didnt change any wiring.

I think I MAY have found the problem. Could it be because my alternator ground has no spacer/rubber washer thing? It just goes nut>ground>alternator. Same thing for the starter, it goes nut>ground>starter.

Do I need those spacers, or w/e? I'm only saying this cause I was looking at my friends car and his has them. Can I use a rubber/nylon washer, because I don't have those spacers.
