no we tested it and it was good. all the fuses are good to. we think it might be something with the fuse box under the hood

no one would have known since it had not been stated.

what were you doing removing a fuse box for installing a camber kit if I may ask? I was under the impression it did not need to be removed for anything like that.

Have you gone over all the fuses?

Made sure that everything is plugged in and tight?

I would suspect the fuse box to be the culprit

You said you moved it, well there's 4 plugs on the bottom of the fuse box that all go to the harnesses and the ECU.

I would imagine if one of those was even loose the car wouldn't start.

Yeah, bottom part should just pop off and should expose the 4 cables, there may be some tension but it is just some zip ties, I removed my friends when we ran a power wire for his amp.
