HALP! :) Retrofitted fog lights, get nothing when I turn the key
Ok, so I went slowly/carefully through the install for the retrofit kit for fog lights.
A pain in the rear, but it is installed. Now I went to start the car, and nothing. Everything else works, gauges/etc. Everything except it won't try to start.
I've checked and rechecked where I was messing around. Cleaned connections to battery, and to fuse box. Relays/fuses look fine.
Any ideas!??!?!

OEM directions call for tapping power from the fuse box in the engine. Make sure the connection there is solid. Also, if you removed the BCM connector to tap into the high beam circuit, make sure that's solid as well.
edit: could be the clutch safety switch - that's one item that would fit the scenario

Great that you go this to work.
You are talking about the toggle bank pack for the green light:

Might need coding for that to work.
