Default Tire Well harness relocation... Now car does not start... Help??

Attempted to do the "DIY Tire Well Harness Relocation" tonight. All went well and smooth but now my car won't start. The gauge cluster does not work except for the high beam light, and the door open indicator light. The climate control also does not work. I turn the key to the on position and attempt to start it but nothing, doesn't even turn over.

The fuel pump does indeed prime. Tilt/power seats do work.

Anybody ever had this problem???

I did not cut any wires, just unplugged them.

I did have two wires that were showing copper, I just taped them up because they were not damaged.

check fuses? You might have blown a fuse if those two copper wires touched each other.

That would my first start. I never had any problem with relocating mine.
Did you rub through the wiring harness before you decided to relocate it?

You might have another issue inside of the flex loom that you cant see, for some odd reason.

I just did this PITA relocation 2 weeks ago on my 93 sc300. I would just check all of the wire clips where they clip in as well as all of your fuses. Then start looking for damaged wires.

It ended up being a blown fuse underneath the dash on the driver side. For future reference it was the "IG SW" aka Ignition Switch Fuse.
