Did the wire fix in the fuse box and thought all went well. Now it won’t crank and engine light on. I’m not stuck somewhere so it’s not an emergency.
The battery light came on. I took it down they said it’s good and they are full charging. I double checked the new wire it looks good I checked fuse positions with my pic before removing. Starting to get anxious. I’ll go back and get the battery and try to check fuses. It’s an 06 automatic.Agree with @Dragon2U -- use test light or voltmeter to test fuses.
here is an explanation for testing at starter relay which I did for someone else that might help --- note other fuses of importance to get car cranking. NOTE if automatic then pin 85 is still from fuse #23 IGN E but it feeds thru the park, neutral switch on transmission
Thanks to @TXNSSR for the picture -- I added some to it
BE sure transmission is in park or neutral BEFORE testing at ANY starter relay on ANY car
You can jump power to crank fuse to bypass ignition switch BUT being a 6 speed someone would need to depress clutch in order for it to crank and because key has to be on - it should start.
If its an automatic and you do this car will start with key on and trans in P or N.
You will find a picture explaining the tests at the starter relay (which is #43 not 42) these voltage reading would be taken with relay installed --- lift up slightly to slide red lead of voltmeter under just enough to touch relay pins. Or slide hat pin (T shaped pin) or similar under and touch that with meter lead. - be sure not to touch more than one pin.
If you remove relay:
you can test pins 30 and 85 for 12 volts with black lead on ground -- note key must be on AND clutch depressed (or in P or N) for pin 85.
Then to test pin 86 place red in pin 85 and black lead at pin 86. You should get 12 volts with clutch depressed and key in crank
OOPs I left off fuse #39 -- green 40 amp one, farthest up on the right! (NOTE his fuses that are surrounded with white paint are all spares)

Ok I have a lot of fuses without power. These were with the switch on. I also tried a couple of pins of the relays no luck. Here are my notes on power yes or no for fuses
I checked my chart again today - the chart is correct!!!!!!I think you found a fault in my chart
fuses #29, 33 and 31 are fed from ignition switch A circuits. - not labeled correctly

I think you are right it is maybe flooded. I did not run it too Long. Why disconnect battery ? For my knowledgeGlad to hear, what did you find?
How long did it run? Might be somewhat flooded. I dont know for sure in this situation, but sometimes cycling key on and off may pulse some injectors. Therefore when it finally fired some cylinders may be flooded.
How about a recheck on fuses for s#### and giggles.
Do you have access to code reader?
If only the fuses i mentioned earlier that make sense still have no power.
Disconnect battery, get a good night sleep knowing its running and we will get you the rest of the way.
Then tomorrow reconect battery and retry. Fuel will have evaporated and trouble codes may have cleared overnight. Might still be slighty rough as plugs clean up. Shouldn't take too long.
