What have I done?!

[cruisingslow]

Okay do today I got brave and tried the $3 aux input install. (http://chevyavalanchefanclub.com/cafcna/index.php?topic=93646.0;all)
Anyways, I failed, horribly because not only does my aux input not work but my yukon won't start at all, won't even attempt to turn over. What did I do? This may be in the wrong forum but this one gets the most traffic and its kind of an emergency.

ok moved it for you. Make sure you reconnected everything. You may need to reverse what you did and try to work backwards.

Is there any alarm wire that connects the radio that could have disabled the vehicle? I just used a volt meter and my battery is showing 12V. Could I have shorted something out? I have gone back and reconnected the 3 wires and I got nothing.

Sounds stupid but common mistakes I've seen:

Make sure vehicle is in park and not a gear after removing radio bezel
Make sure batter is hooked up if you disconnected

I'd undo the wire splicing you did. Try and see if it starts. If not check thru the fuses. The wires you messed with shouldn't cause any problems so I feel it's something else minor and it's being overlooked.

When U turn the key to "on" position does anything else work. Windows. Ac blower fan?

Lastly I have seen radios and stuff throw the truck into security mode. Look up security relearn on google. I would but I'm on my phone so it hard to paste. Follow the steps...it might fix it

No electronics are working in the vehicle, It won't even crank. The only thing that happens when you turn the key is the check engine light comes on and blinks but thats it. The battery is hooked up and it is in park. I'll go through the fuses now

Could I have shortened out the battery? if so, would it still show 12V on a meter?

I don't think you shorted the battery. I'm baffled tho. If you never disconnected the battery there is a good change u blew a fuse somewhere. Finding it will be up to you

Ill throw a video up on YouTube so you guys can really see whats going on

That's weird. Have you tried to disconnect battery for a bit to see if computer will reset. I really wonder if battery is drained beyond dead. Voltage didn't even move when u tuned the key

 

[cruisingslow]

Well I left it alone for awhile and just went out there and the key fob worked and the normal lights came on that normally do when you unlock but they were extreamly dim and turned off shortly

 

[Screwd up 6]

Do you have access to a way to try to jump
Start?

 

[cruisingslow]

That's what in trying right now, I think it's too dead to save

 

[Screwd up 6]

You can still save. Will just take A while to charge up again. Does it At least have a voltage and stuff when u turn the key to on with cables connected

Any updates?

Last night I had it hooked up to my jumper box and it wouldn't start. This morning I went and swapped out the battery terminals hooked up jumper cables and let it sit for about 5 minutes and then it fired right up. Just in time to drop it off for its appointment this morning to have it tinted also. The old battery terminals where pretty covered with corrosion, I guess it was just a really inconvenient time for the battery to start acting up. Thank you for all the help Screwd up 6!

That was the car gods saying hey you!!!!!!! before you figure out how to turn up the system louder fix my heart cancer.

So maybe your wiring aux will work! Give it a try...just unplug the battery while you are working so you don't trip a fuse or drain it haha.

 

[cruisingslow]

Got it all finished and working perfect! Probably the best 3 dollars I have ever spent. Also picked up a new battery today.
