Default car won't start, but it started 10 minutes ago

I'm reinstalling my radio stack and stuff after I had the LED's changed, I had the radio / starter button reinstalled started the car as usual, and no issues.

I buttoned everything up and was going to back the car out of the garage and it won't even attempt to start.

the car does go through it's normal electronic preperation but right when you'd expect to hear the starter crank over, nothing.


any ideas? I checked the fuse in the box A marked starter it's fine, I've taken the radio back out again, still not starting, help please.

Maybe you killed the battery, you check the voltage!

yup, always the little things, oddly enough I torqued it down with a ratcheting wrench, but after torquing it down more with a socket wrench it must have been able to transfer enough current to kick the starter.
