Hey,
I was in the middle of a wiring job for my HVAC and two of my wires touched and I saw a spark... It never crossed my mind to disconnect the negative terminal from my battery, my fault I know... -_-

Anyways, I can turn the key to the on position and all my lights come on etc etc, but the car does not crank. I checked the fuses with a test light and they're still good.

Any ideas?

I am reading through these threads to get some ideas:

thanks in advance

 

i did this on my 2007 tahoe when installing a my subs when i took it to the dealer i blew my BCM, had to get a new one which warranty paid for, u fried sumtin

 

Ck your fuse on the top right its like a 2 amp fuse for the ignition

 

What wires did u touch together?

 

Did you check the fuse box inside the car?

 

I forgot which wires touched out of the seven wires.

Checked that one by eye and with a test light, still good.

Checked fuses inside the car on the passenger side with my test light

If I blew my BCM, would the other fuses still work?

 

is there a fusible link somewhere

 

Hmm, what do you mean?

 

why were you wiring up your hvac?

 

I needed some extra slack for the HVAC so I could relocate it to where the cup holder is. I am installing a tablet (top) and single din headunit (bottom) and the HVAC wouldn't fit in the center console.

 

Solved-
Thanks everyone for their suggestions, I ended up double checking the fuses and it was a blown fuse!
I guess I missed that specific fuse when I was checking with my test light, if anyone is curious it was fuse #10 HVAC/pk3+ (fuse box inside the car near the passenger side)

Weird how the hvac fuse is tied with starting the car lol but whatever, replaced it and the car cranks.

 

This happened to me the other day.
One way to tell that it is that fuse is that the rear defrost won't work and neither will the driver information control toggles to the right of the steering wheel.

 

PK3+ is Passkey3. that would explain it.
