Default Help narrowing down electrical issues…

Hi yall I’ve been doing diy on my car and almost about to get it started after a long time from sitting and apparently I’m dealing with an electrical issue prevent the car to start.

Symptoms:
-speedo don’t light up in ignition mode but telescoping steering wheels extends but car won’t start properly when the start button and the brake pedal is depressed. However the car was trying to crank when button is pushed 2 times in ignition mode and it was not my intention to start the car. The starter cranks slightly then stops without pressing the brakes. No messages displayed from the info screen. However it turns on only to remind the driver the key isn’t detected

Ruled out:
-battery is been charged
-replaced starter
-cleaned grounds
-inspected interior and exterior fuse boxes
-bench tested speedometer
-checked fuses
-interior lights, immobilizer, door jamb indicator light on in the Speedo, door locks, key fob fuel door button, trunk, proximity sensors, windows etc all working just not speedometer ignition lights, warning lights, or the display screen.

Have the battery health checked at your local auto parts store.

Thank u I’ll definitely get a health check on the battery considering the battery has already past its 5 years and no idea if the cold cranking amps are still functioning properly I’ll do that
