Help! Weird ignition system electrical snag – 2008 Outback basic wagon 2.5 L, 175,000m manual trans.

Re-installed motor after changing 2 bent exhaust valves. (Bolt retaining cam belt tensioner backed off and belt slipped. Two new exhaust valves, new tensioner, bolt and mounting bracket, new head gaskets, new head bolts, new camshaft seals, new valve oil seals. Lapped in all 16 valves, set clearances and reassembled motor).
Went to restart, no battery power to ignition system. Gauges illuminate, swing once then settle. No warning lights for CEL, Alt. Fuel pump doe not run for 3 secs when ignition turned on. OBD reader light on when connected but when ignition key is turned to on the OBD reader goes blank. No click of starter motor solenoid.

Haynes manual shows starter circuit with two relays; an Interrupt Relay(B59) and a Starter Interrupt Relay(B225) but I cannot physically locate them, they are not in the engine bay relay and fuse panel. All 7.5 amp fuses under the hood and in the fuse panel in the driver’s foot-well have been checked and are good. Clutch switch disconnected and shorting link used across connector made no difference.
Any ideas, please?
