RE: Installed Light Bar - Car won't start
I can't believe you're having trouble with the data bus from the light bar install. More likely you've pinched a wire and are dragging the 12v down. I'd be VERY careful that you aren't cooking a wire someplace.

RE: Installed Light Bar - Car won't start
I can't imagine I'm cooking a wire. All I had to do was use the supplied CDC harness and plug them into the existing assemblies. Perhaps I should have unplugged the battery before I did anything in the first place.
Where is this inertia reset?

unplug the wire harness from cdc and put back stock and see if it starts sound like you unpluged the fuel pump feed it runs under the seat. That would also give you a tank sender error?

Found the button. Very awkward. I pressed it. Turned car to ON position, waited a minute. Then tried starting the car. No dice. Did the process again just to make sure, still no start.
Just reloaded my 93 tune, that didn't help either. This is a royal pain. I guess there's always a chance I tripped a wire during the install. I thought I was careful.

Once again, I can help instead of the guessing going
on here but need pics of what harness
and where it is and some pics of the install instructions.
Something more than, it worked fine before, installed
light bar, now DTCs.
The wire colors are not 100% the same between year models.
Lets start out with what year model is your clone?
And some pics so I can diagnose.
You have gotten into the fuel system wiring instead of the third
brake light wiring somehow.
