You could just Bump your Original Post instead of making another one. But anyways, have you checked your Main Relay? Usually the case when nothing happens after you turn the key but since the radio and stuff comes on idk about that. But i'd check the Main Relay first thing.

No problem man just remember to search before you post and you'll be good. Let me know if thats the culprit. I'm sure you can find a thread about how to check your main relay. Check of the FAQ's Thread on here.

My car did this and the ground and power were touching. That's my two cents

you sure you hooked the wires up correctly.. sounds like you have a wire in the wrong spot

i think i hook it up right one ground going to the battery wire coming from the fuse box to positive and the wire coming off the start to positive am i missing something?

Did you do a one for one swap with the wires ( meaning as you were pulling it apart putting the new wires on) or did you take it all apart then put it back together by memory? To me it sounds like you didnt put it back together correctly
