Tried to start it today, won't turn over. I had it in park, ft on brake. All the dash lights work when the key is on, a Security light comes on then goes off.
No airbag, no harness connection to rear lights as box is still off, front light harness connected but no bulbs or horn installed, it's also not grounded. I think all else connected. Does having everything disconnected cause any computer issues or having an airbag blow.
Wipers came on when I turned the key on, radio, key in ignition alarm. I have an InNova code reader, its not reading anything. It says no power train dtcs or freeze frame data stored in the vehicles computer.
Also just remembered I dont have my electrical connections attached to the automatic transmission, maybe it doesnt know its in Park?

Dash PRNDL lighting up? Can you see if you are indeed in P or N? Neutral/Park switch plugged in? ((At the select shift shaft where the shift cable clips on))
Security light does go out and not flash?

If there is a park/neutral electrical connection on the transmission, its not plugged in, I guess that would do it.
The leds are not illuminated under the actual letters. Start at the neutral/saftey switch for sure. There are 2 separate connectors. Had one on Thursday, always showing 2nd gear. Of course, no crank. Replaced the switch an resolved.

Thanks for the help, plugged everything in, started right up, no lights on except the air bag light. Ran smooth as new.

No leaks, left it running a while outside today, everything seems great. Still some minor electrical hookups to do, body alignment, getting insurance in place so I can get plates. Needs a wheel alignment,paint it, airbags setup, and AC recharging. Will see what hidden surprises happen once I drive it a bit.

Hello,
I once ran across the same issues you were having except there was nothing unplugged. It took me forever to find out the problem, it was a small wire that ran from the main wire from starter to the battery. There is a small ground wire that came off that line and was grounded out on the front of the engine block, I believe above the water pump. Anyway it was broken off right there, fixed it ground it out there again and wow no warning lights came on and it start every time after that.
Hope that might help someone one day.
