if you did not disconect the battery before you did all of that work, then you may have blown a fuse or two.uuuhhhmmm... your ignition switch may not be hooked up properly. you are going to have to go through the whole system 1 item at a time, Make sure every thing is plugged in properly (to the right plug). check your fuses, make sure your ignition switch is hooked properly. After all of that post up if you don't fix your issue, and provide more detailed info.

Any luck yet? The ignition switch is what you stick the key into, when you turn the key all the way up it switches the starter on. If for some reason that is unplugged your starter won't work. I'am just thinking of stuff from the top of my head. It's hard to say what it could be without seeing your car in person. Be persistant, learn the function of the harness, relays, and fuses, and you will understand what is preventing your car from starting. Good luck.
