    Tried installing 12volt solution auto starter. Upon inspection it all looked fine and the install was completely easy. Programmed the module easily then tries to stay and it was a no go. Upon further inspection I found that a wire was loose in the plug that joins the starter. I uninstalled everything and plugged everything back to factory level and again... my truck won’t start. The dash lights come on radio plays headlights are on. But it will not even attempt to turn over the engine. i do not know where to go from here.

    Also have to add on, none of the fuses seem to be blown or burnt.

    Are you sure you plugged everything back in correctly? Something might've not seated fully

    Just a hunch. Maybe just a coincidence but I think your battery is toast. Try another battery or jumpstart it.

    Yup won’t hurt to try. My wife’s 4ruuner did that. Was fine then won’t start. No click even. Radio worked.

    Working on them
    Don't take the battery is toasted seriously .... just go back check with care each connection that you had your hands on... make sure that they are in place where they should be and if they are slowly check again also check your fuse if it is blown check all your connection again before new fuse install and next time you mess with wires Mark them All before disconnecting anything....

    Have you tried disconnecting the battery for 5 or so minutes. That should reset the canbuss.

    Try uninstalling everything to see if the car still won't start.

    Use your volt meter to check battery voltage.

    You have a volt meter, right?

    No volt meter available.
    Left the battery unplugged, and then even tried giving it a jump. Nothing.

    This might seem like a dumb question...does the lock/unlock button on the remote work?

    Try removing the auto start. See if Truck will then start. Your parts may be defective.

    May be a defective unit. Make sure you double check that ground wire.
