NO Crank/no start.

So I get done putting everything back together from replacing my transmission, and my 1990 RT4WD won't start.
No crank even.
Sometimes when I turn the key, I get nothing. Sometimes, I get all the idiot lights, then when I try to turn to start, everything dies. Sometimes, everything kind of come on but sounds weak and pathetic (door ding, etc)
Also, when I hit the hazard lights, I get a kind of farting noise from the dash, but no hazards, and the interior light flickers.
I checked all my grounds, they're good. I checked my power, it's good. Battery has a 12.45V charge.
I did check my ECU, got a DTC (#6 - Coolant temp sensor) and noted that the wiring was broken at the back of the connector.
Could this cause this condition? I would think not...
WTF, did I install some kind of demon possessed transmission or something?

maybe, a weak ground? that would only allow so much amperage to flow throw the system, which sounds like it could your problem..
i would check all the grounds, but i am sure somebody else that actually knows will reply..
I ran my own ground wiring, bypassing the factory cable between the battery/frame/transmission - I ran a piggy back from battery to frame, and from battery direct to trans.
It now cranks and has no more electrical issues, but it cranks REALLY fast and won't turn over.
Getting closer. lol
