Turned it off the night before I had to remove the fuse of the fuel pump. After putting in the new Ignition lock cylinder it won't start, nothing comes on no lights no air. How do I fix this?

When you say lock cylinder, did you do anything with the switch?

I provided the connector view. We need to make sure we have power on the inputs and then the P1 has ground when put to the start position. If we don't have power on the inputs then we either have a fuse issue. If we do then I suspect we have a switch issue.

I don't have any tools to test if I have power or not. But me and my friend will try when he gets here.

Okay. Unfortunately that is really the only way to know for sure. Due to only putting this in and now it is not doing anything, we have to start there.

Keep me updated and we can go from there. Thanks
