Default ERST Ignition/Wiring Problem..

Hi everyone. Currently had abit of a headache with converting my Series 2 Escort RS Turbo to EFI but have wired in the loom correctly now and all is good but i believe to have a problem with ignition.

First intial click on the key all my gauges come on as there connected to the yellow wire on the ignition switch, then the 2nd click of the key the fuel pump primes with all dash lights then on the 3rd click to obviously engage the starter there is nothing and all the dash lights go out etc (almost like its breaking the circuit)

Could it be something silly like earths or starter motor wired up incorrectly?

Can anyone help atall?

Thanks

Problem solved was the plug on the starter motor, it had a break in the wire so solderd it back together and works spot on again
