Added a kill switch, now Jeep wont start, even after removing kill switch. Need help

[Mdwilmoth]

I have a 22 Rubicon 392. 34000 miles.
Today I added a kill switch to the ignition Start Stop button. I purchased a t-harness for the ignition Stop/Start switch. Unplug the factory harness from the back of the start stop. Plug in the new harness. Wire kill switch to the harness.
The switch worked as it was intended as I was checking to see if it was going to work. Holding all the wires together. I got lazy and did not disconnect the battery. Then I ran the wires to where I wanted it, crimped connectors and used a heat gun on shrink wrap. Went to test it and the Jeep won't start.
THEN I COMPLETELY REMOVED THE HARNESS AND SWITCH. I put everything back to factory.
Dash comes on. Dash warning says remote start could not be completed. I wasn't trying to remote start it.
Key fob will not lock or unlock jeep. I tried both remotes.
I checked all the fuses. Swapped some of the relays I thought it could be. No change.
The start stop button does not light up, or go to accessories, or run.
No error codes on display. I checked to see if I accidently disconnected any other wires while under dash.

What do you think? Thanks

No. It was not that one. The one I got "kills" the power to the Start Stop starter button.

Ok I can’t find the thread so I could be wrong, but no harm in trying. Switch Fuse F10 with a known good spare. Unless you are actually testing the fuses, I have been fooled by bad fuses that look fine visually. If not, someone smarter than me will be along soon to correct me.

Fuse F10 supplies power to the ignition button/keyless entry(RF HUB). 15 AMP fuse, I have fuse puller on it in the photo

Just out of curiosity - why would you want to add a kill switch? it’s a switch that prevents it from starting right?

Replacing fuse F10 did the trick. Everything is back to normal. Thank you.

I recommend everyone go out and buy a set of Micro fuses.

It’s nice when the fix is that easy!

I don't know what you look like, so I can't say for sure you're smarter than you look... but at least you're smarter than you give yourself credit for
