Car wont star HEELLLLL ME.
I installed a new navigation system with rear camera and now my car wont start Maybe someone here knows what's wrong with my car. I bought a fuse tester. I checked every single fuse, while i was checking the fuses I noticed that there were a few fuses that didnt make the light on the tester light up? I went ahead and replaced them. I have attached a pictures of all the fuses that have been replaced with new ones however, the tester does not light up when im testing the fuse. All the other fuses are fine and when tested they light up the tester light.
The brake pedal is stiff as hell. Im able to unlock the car using the FOB. Once I press the brake the start button goes green and when pressed the motor start to turn over but it does not start, if fels like it wants to start because is the motor is cranking just fine. Also, the radio works tail lights ,trunk etc...
Everything with a mark next to it or circle in red is what is not lighting on the tester even though i replaced them with new ones.

Did you press the start button once for "accessory" mode before checking these fuses? They may not be powered when the ignition is off. Seems odd that you would do this update and then have this problem..... The car turns over but doesn't crank? Three things required for a car to crank. Ignition, fuel and compression. There has to be something wrong with and tied to the Nav install..... Hopefully someone here has run into this before?

i would check if the battery has enough juice to crank the car.. you might want to change the battery with another car just for testing purposes or try boosting the battery.. cuz im sure during your nav install you tested the ****** outta the nav unit while the car was turned off..

Here is a copy paste from the cross post in the other thread:
It looks like he needs to boost the car, drive it around to charge the battery since he let it discharge completely when he installed the rear camera. All symptoms point to a low battery condition for now. It is possible that there is a pinched wire that is draining the battery though, so your suggestion to recheck all wiring is also a good one, if this persist.
Also, it can take up to 4 hours to charge a battery in the car, but closer to 10-14 hours using a bench charger. I doubt Autozone charged it for that long. They probably just charged it enough to do a load test. The starter draws so much more power from the battery, that the relay that engages it won't engage unless the battery is fully charged.
Is it possible that when installing the unit he might have damaged some wires in the back that would cause such a problem? I think it's too much of a coincidence that the day he does the install his car would no longer start. There has to be a connection between the 2. (or maybe not, what do I know...)
