Default Car wont start

i put in my mech temp gauge so i had to take the instrument cluster out and all those parts to run the tubing. Now when I got the car back together the car wont start at all. The starter doesnt even engage. At first I thought maybe the battery and I just got it tested and its fine. The problem now is when you turn the key to the ON position not start the car goes dead no power to the car at all. The ignition switch to almost new and it looks fine. The starter solinold was just replaced a couple months ago too.

Definately sounds like a bad connection somewhere. U may have moved something in the process of your installation. Start from the battery and check the connections and see if theyre tight and clean. Also that solonoid may be wut is causing this. Keep us posted n good luck.

its not something that easy. i have checked everyhting that I have touched and nothing. The solinold isnt the problem I just checked it. The starter wont even turn over I think that is the problem but why would it draw all the power out of the car
