Did you try jumping it? Your battery may not be able to hold a charge so charging it wouldn't do much.

Did you disconnect the ground to your starter by any chance? Make sure it is connected properly. Also, check your starter to make sure it's working. Could also be a problem with your ECU.

maybe. i put a test light in "A25-IGP2 to main relay and to ground Yel/blk, Battery positive from Main relay, Battery Voltage with KOEO

A26-LG1 gound Blk/red, less than 1V"

and the cel and oil light came on very dim. i am about 98% sure all my grounds are hocked up.
that was the first thing i checked

Don't use a test light to test components in your car. You might damage the sensitive electronic components as the test light draws way too much current. Use a DMM (digital multimeter).

I wish I had read this earlier cause I knew what it was as soon as I read your post. I had the same problem in my car and if I pushed on certain fuses everything came to life, what happend to my fuse box was the tangs in the box got stretched open and would not connect.
