Default Changed steering wheel car wont start

Hello im new here. I bought this dnd steering wheel and hooked it up like normal. I only disconnected the wiring I needed to. I go to crank the car and it immediately dies. Lights off and no crank. Cant even hear the fuel pump. I'll leave some photos of the connectors I disconnected. If anyone can tell me how something like this happens to a 98 ls400. I'd gladly appreciate it.




Black connector is disconnected.

yellow is the SRS system (airbag), black is just for the cruise, horn, and radio controls.

I suspect that you may have inadvertently blown a fuse. start there and report back.
also make sure your battery terminals are tight!

Was the battery disconnected before proceeding with the swap? With Timmy about a blown fuse or a connector near the immobilizer receiver.

Battery was disconnected, I checked the fuses and no metal was broken.

Likely an easy fix. Just put the correct OEM steering wheel in.
