Retrace your steps and think about what you have touched during the UIM removal process. Just removing the UIM and replacing a solenoid shouldn't have anything to do with your lights unless you accidentally tugged and pulled on the secondary wiring harness.

the car wont start either. it cranks and cranks but no spark. where exactly is the plug for the secondary wiring harness? thanks Trex

Danm forum, I lost everything I type for 5 min.

The Secondary harness runs along the driver side fender to the battery as well as under the intake elbow to other electronics (I don't remember if they go to the ignition coils or not).
To check is you are sparking, take one of the plugs out and reconnect the plug wire to it, unplug the fuel pump relay (to prevent flooding). Have a friend crank the car while you hold the plug by the wire and touch a good grounding point with the plug threads. You should see a good strong blue spark, if not replace with a new plug and try again. If you get no spark at all, you may have a bad coil, ignitor or a bad/loose connection to them.

thanks . i just found out that the only stuff working is the starter and the head lights, power windows and stuff like that. i'll check out the places you suggested.

thanks aaron
