Question **URGENT: Car won't start

So, I got around to wrapping my trims last night.

I took front pieces off, with the start switch,

center console, one with the gear

and the door pieces.


Anywhoo~~ wrapped it all and put it all back together.

and CAR WONT START!!! WTF right??


Its giving me three warnings

one exclamation mark

one ABS warning

one low gas warning.


When i step on the brake, it is really stiff

and when it try to turn on the car just keeps trying to turn over without success


any clues or insights greatly appreciated. thx!!

I have filled up yesterday.
Exclamation mark is brake fluid low warning
ABS warning is that drive stability system has failed including ABS and TPMS.

make sure the wire that goes behind the hazard sign n the trim is in tightly. make sure the connects between the start button is fine as well.

If you say it was fine before the wrap, then that makes u must have a loose connection somewhere, so just try to reconnect them all slowly.

if not....then sorry dude, I am out of suggestions.

Did you run your battery low by having the doors open while you were removing, wrapping and installing your trim? Having your interior lights on probably killed your car.

Try boosting it to see if it will run first, then start looking at other alternatives. Try with the basics first before getting in a tizzy about the situation.

I don't know what was the prob.
I took all the pieces other than the door piece back out disconnected all the wiring again.
and reinstalled every piece and every wire.

now it's fine...

so, it's fine now but. those wiring... really don't do much in regards the mechanics of the car. other than the start switch....

WEIRD~~~

my guess is that the connection wasn't plugged in all the way with your start button... i had a local buddy do the exact same thing and couldn't figure it out until he did just that (replugged in the start button but made sure it 'clicked' this time)

I second the low battery as well. Plug your battery into a trickle charger then try it and see what happens.

If it's a loose Start button, it won't seem like it's trying to turn over and over again.

Does the car crank at all? I had trouble starting mine last week. Turned out to be the fuel pump, warning light came up showing a car on a lift.
