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.
