    I would double check the fuses. And if you can borrow a multimeter that will definitely help with the troubleshooting.

    Thanks y’all. The unit has been uninstalled and all wiring has been back to stock settings and it hasn’t started. I checked all connections to ensure proper fitment and all fuses seem to be fine and working. Might have to just toss it up as a loss and get it to to a dealership :annoyed:

    Do you have a wiring diagram of what you were doing here we could see ?
    Do you have a meter ?

    No meter unfortunately.
    I was installing this. Only two plugs moved and the unit had a loose wire that went into the starter.

    Did you have the truck battery unplugged when doing this ?
    To start I would go back and look at the pins in the plugs and make sure they did not recess/ get pushed back (or damaged/bent) in the plug (keeper damaged). Especially the plug up against the firewall. Those up there are tiny and fragile imo.
    That's my bet, a screwed up pin.

    What fuse positions were you adding too? I have a schematic that calls out what the fuses do. I would check the fuses you were removing and installing with a multi meter do a continuity check.

    A multimeter is essential to troubleshoot a problem like this.

    I bet you bent a pin on one of the connections. Pull them and inspect.

    really a pretty straight forward install. definitely check for pushed pin or bent. also really need to ring out the fuses those Low profile mini's can be tough some times.

    X2...The connectors you were inserting were "male", so there is a good chance one or more of the fine "female" pin may be damaged or recessed. I would start there and if you have an eye loupe, it would help in the inspection of the pins by magnifying them.

    Look at the wiring harness closely. That is your problem.

    When you were installing the remote start. You may have accidentally unplugged another harness.
