Default Abs delete installed and now car won't start

I installed the SJM ABS delete yesterday and bled the brakes and tested the system all was good. I got up today to adjust the valve and after starting the car three times with no problems, it won't start again.

I got power going to everything but I get no cranking? Checked the fuses and connections and found nothing. Anyone have any ideas?

The security light is not on so I'm pretty sure it's not a VATS.

Thanks in advance.

Removing ABS shouldn't have any bearing on it, unless you removed a fuse that controls the PCM...check the fuses again, see if you have spark.

This is captain obvious, but is your battery dead?

You ain't going to believe this but the starter was bad. It just happened to **** the bed as soon as I got the ABS delete done. Just my dumb luck I guess.

Steve10 the ABS works great holds the front down nice when heating the tires. And braked nicely, even when slowing down from a 120 mph.

One other question I know the ABS light will be on until I pull it but is the "brake" light suppose to be on?
