2007 LTZ- bought a liftgate actuator and was installing it. When I plugged in the new actuator, it starting whirring and making noise; so I thought I would unhook the negative battery cable. I finished installing the actuator and hooked the battery back up. Now it won't start. The lights, front windows and some dash lights work, but it will not start. No locks work, and my key fobs do not work. There is no "lock" staying on my dash, just an engine light and the traction light. Battery is showing 12.7 volts and I have checked all the fuses under the hood.

This has to be a simple fix. Please Help.

I even took the new actuator off, but it did not help.

Any ideas?
TSB for 07 related to this?

Glad you're back on the road. Sucks that it happened though. Thanks for coming back and giving the resolution. It may be helpful for someone in the future
unless it's a hot swap device like a 12v+ cig connection
