ignition wires problem

[rasburrylaser90]

whats up everyone. so i tried to put a push button start in. i started to wire everything up and then dicided to go a different route. i fixed all the ignition wires and put it all back to stock and now the car wont crank and the radio wont turn on. i know the battery and terminals are good, starter/ solenoid are all good. and fuses are good. all the dash light come on, and fuel pump comes on but it wont crank. any advice?

Start by going back over everything you did and see what you missed.

Then check to see if you have 12volts getting to the starter solenoid (small wire on the starter) when you crank it. Also check all fuses again, and make sure nothing came loose on the clutch or safety neutral switch, depending on if it's a manual or automatic.

I can't think of a reason why the starter and radio aren't seeing power, but everything else is; unless it's just a coincidence or you have a strange short somewhere.

when you say you put everything back together, what exactly do you mean.?? did you cut wires re-route them? I'm in the middle of doing the ignition removal and building a separate switch and button start. So I have wiring tore apart, if I can help put colors to terminals I need to know what all you did first.

but would that make the radio not work?

How did you splice? did you cut and twist or did you use the snap over connectors.

Either way, it sounds like you have a dead wire or a short somewhere from either a broken wire or blown a fuse somewhere.
