Changed motor everything worked fine with old motor. Now went to turn it over there's nothing. Gauges don't move but light up and go out when attempting to start car. But no crank no start and fuel pump don't make a sound. Any ideas?

First, I would check the battery because it sounds like it is low.

If the battery is okay check the ground to the engine block and positive battery cable should be attached to the starter motor. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.
