Default a/c makes my car start?!?! WTFFFFFFFF!!!!

i just swapped and ls1 from a 98 a4 to a 95 m6 took every part possible from the ls1 and when i when i went to start the car nothing. well further investigation brought me to the issue. the car will only start when the a/c controls are set to low speed and it has to be set to either max a/c all the way to defrost. it cant be off and it cant be at a speed higher then low cause then it wont start. this has been really bugging me and im bought to kill somebody! PLEASE ANY SUGGESTIONS?!?!?!??!

Obviously the wiring harness was not modified properly. Start filling in the missing details about wiring and we can try and figure out what went wrong.

Just roll with it dude.

Tell everyone you have a "custom security system."

Then bet your buddies 20$ they cant start it.
