Constant (Ignition?) Power.. Help!

[97DSM_Spyder]

<97 Eclipse GS-T Spyder

Alright, I have searched the forums for the last few hours and I cant find anything so hopefully someone can help me out here. I had just unhooked my TT (Greddy) and BC (Profec B-Spec II) from the top of the steering column to slot them inside the DIN beneath my radio. I disconnected the 2 key switches to make sure all of the wiring was done correctly as I did not do it originally. It was good. I disconnected the 3 and 4 PIN connectors to the power harness and I ran the wires from the units through the back of the DIN and hooked everything back up. Checked my ground and it seemed to be good. Now, problem is.. now the car is getting constant power. When I reconnect the first key switch the SRS and Check engine lights come and and go out after a few second just as if I am about to start up the car. SAFC2 stays constantly on as well as the oil, battery and e-brake light. Factory boost gauge also reads. When I actually turn the key in the ignition then it all comes on (TT, BC, Gauges etc..). Only way I can get it to shut off is if I disconnect the first key switch. I was a noob and didnt disconnect the battery terminals which I should have so that is just FYI. I have been trying to figure out the problem but to no avail. Any help?


{Update} I unhooked the TT and power harness and hooked back up the key switches (Removing the power harness completely) and all is fine now. Seemed like it could have been the power harness or something, still I am unsure. For now I guess I will have to go without a timer and sit it out. Anyone need a timer? Lol.

Presuming that not disconnecting the battery negative didn't result in electrical damage, I would first retrace all power wiring and if still no go, I'd probably return the whole thing to exactly the way it was before I started just to see if I can recover to square one. If it still won't work then I'd have to presume damage.
