Default Car wont start, no prime from pump

So I was installing sound deadener in my car and now I have a problem with the fuel pump not coming on at all and the car wont start. I know I have spark because the engine initially started for a second with some residual fuel. But now its not starting at all. When I turn the key I can not hear the fuel pump priming, so it seems like power got totally cut somehow.

The only thing I did while putting the sound deadener in is cut a wiring harness that I assumed was for the stock speakers and for the optional CD changer. I don't have the monsoon system so I assumed this harness could come out.

I cut this harness:



That went into this harness:



I did not touch the wiring harness that goes into that little door which I know if the wiring harness for the fuel pump. Is it possible that I screwed up the fuel pump ground somehow? I am out of ideas, I even tried hooking the old harness back up to no avail.

Also, I did check the fuse under the hood and it is still good.

Thanks in advance for any help!

EDIT: I also cut the harness to remove the Monsoon Amp.

NVM, figured it out it was the ground next to the drivers seat.
