Default car won't start, need ideas

My build is pretty much done, but I cannot get the car to start. The fuse and battery were relocated. All wires seem fine, no fuse is blown. I a trickle charger on the battery and it says it's full. The car does not crank but clicks once when I push the start button. Any ideas?

if you moved the battery are you sure you have the thick awg power wire that connects the battery and starter hooked up? the starter button will still click the solenoid but the starter motor won't have any power to turn and crank the engine over. is the engine trying to crank over?

it's a 4 gauge wire. All it does is click once.

follow the thicker of the two starter wires and make sure it has power from the battery. i'm pretty sure you have the wire from the start button to the solenoid hooked up but you don't have the wire from the starter "motor" hooked up. either that or that fuse is popped

I put my old battery in the stock location she fired right up. I lost all my oil or at least most of it one the car started. Its really dark out but it looked like it was all pouring out from where the oil filter relocation kit mounts to the motor.

Did you check the sandwich block, that mounts to where the stock filter goes, for any ports that weren't capped? Usually there are ports on the sandwich adapter that you can hook up gauge probes into.

Make sure the large O-ring is on there as well. I suspect your ground was not good enough with the old batt location.
