Strange not starting issue

Hi guys. My car has been running fine. The other day I replaced the TB coolant hose running to the block and now my car won't start. I can hear the starter going but it seems like its not getting fuel. I have tried deflooding and it hasn't helped.

This is the storage part. No interior lights or dash lights come in, but my aftermarket gauges, wired to the fuse by the drivers foot, are still on. Also, the starter seems to be working fine. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Could it be bad battery?

My guess is that when you change your TB hose you have probably disconnect the TPS and BAC valve and maybe the MAP sensor and you probably forgot to connect one of them so recheck that!

I'll check those connectors, but I am 99% positive I connected them all back. Would any of these actually cause a starting issue though? And I don't see how this would relate to my interior lights not coming on.

I hear a click when I turn on ignition but don't hear the fuel pump whining. Is that indicative of a bad fuel pump?

All your problem seem to indicate a faulty ignition switch. It's like the ignition switch dont give any current.

I actually just found a blown main fuse. Also read a thread with similar issues to mine where that was the problem. Ill swap it out tomorrow. Could this be the reason? Or should I continue looking?
