Need help, car won't start
Changed my clutch today, and afterwords when everything was put back together the car won't even crank.
The dashboard display says service airbag.
I was able to use HP Tuners to read the data, everything looks normal, and no codes. I even tried disabling VATS security, and it still won't start.
The starter is getting power, but the solenoid connection never gets any power.
I am going back tomorrow and will take out and re-install the fuse panel, but if anyone can give me some suggestions I would appreciate it.

Thanks for the thought, we got resistance when the switch is pushed in, so it is working there, could it be elsewhere along the wire?
Any other thoughts?

Turns out I missed the stupidest, simplest thing.
After working all day on it, and forgetting to check the seal (got stuck in the distribution block, and pissed out brake fluid), successfully installed the clutch and got everything back together, you would think I would check the fuses themselves.
I had an add-a-fuse in that I removed when taking out the fuse panel, and put it back into an empty spot, and left the I/P fuse empty.
After checking all kinds of wires/connections, I eventually put the voltmeter on the pink wire on the clutch switch and found no power. Looked up the wiring diagram, found out what fuse it went to, and then found the fuse spot empty.
Works great now that the fuse is in there, lol.
