Default 08 Bullitt Help

Needing some help/advice. I have a 08 Bullitt and I removed the dual pod gauges that came with and put a stock pillar in. Only thing I did was disconnect the plug in from the obd2 port and pull the cable through. Now the issue

I noticed the reverse lights stay on and the car won't start. I have power (the headlights, interior lights, brake lights, and alarm lock/unlock all work) but the car doesn't even click. The theft light flashes at the normal 2 seconds and not rapidly. Also I no other cluster lights come on (like the odometer, engine light, etc) and I have no power to the radio or windows. What could this be?

Cliff notes: have power/headlights but no radio/windows/instrument and the car wont start, not even click.


Update: I just hit the panic to see if it works, the panic works but I couldn't turn it off/disable the alarm. Had to pull the battery to stop it.

Sounds like a SJB issue, but I have no idea.

Since you weren't having problems previously you probably blew the fuse is all - when you unplugged the from the OBD. I think it is #8 that controls the data port and the dash, in the passenger side kick panel.

Out of town right now, so I will check that one. I did check a few fuses yesterday (like 21, 16, 18 I believe).

I also tried the 2 different ways to "reset/reinitalize" the alarm and neither worked

Have you tried to start the car while jumping off another? It sounds like it could be a dead battery.

Tried #8, just now and it was still good. Put in another fuse just incase and it still won't do anything.

I did try to jump it off, but didnt let it charge too much before attempting it. If it was dead battery I shouldn't have no power, right?

There is a 12v box that has a wire tapped into the ignition and on the other part of the box it has 2 green 2 red and black wires that run up toward the radiator.

Don't know if that has a part in it not starting
