AK issue.

[Icepick]

Well I acquired a new AK, and an ICS Turbo-3000 motor recently, and want to install the motor (I HAVE NOT installed the new motor yet.) So I decided I would completely disassemble the gearbox to do the normal stuff (re-grease and a good shim job.) But when I put it all back together after cleaning it all out, it wouldn't fire. Now here is where I am really stuck... The battery has been fully charged and works in my M4, the wiring is flawless, and the Tamiya connectors are all 100% in tact. I think it might be a weird problem with the trigger contacts, but I have checked and tested it with the half of the shell they are attached to, and the trigger contacts seem to be working fine, and well, contacting. When I plug in the battery and give the trigger a squeeze, the motor refuses to turn. What seems odd is that the wires aren't hot, so there doesn't seem to be anything wrong there... Does anybody have any ideas? Also, can somebody provide a diagram of an AK triggerbox assembly?

Could be several things...

I would check the trigger post and it could be that the motor is fried. Try connecting the motor to your m4 wiring and see if it turns over.

That is what I pretty much always use... I almost mentioned it.

check your wiring and the fuse

Could be the gears not turning properly causing the motor not to turn at all.

So I took a third look, and the trigger isn't contacting the two copper trigger contacts. It connected just fine before, but now it is ALMOST making a connection, how could I fix this without bending my trigger contacts?

This is a problem I've seen in a few AK. What brand is yours?
I've had two fixes work. One is that you remove and re-attach your slidy-bits so that they move the proper length. The other is make longer slidy-bits, but that's a hackjob extreme solution (my favorite kind).
