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.

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?
