Recently replaced Clockspring. Now car won’t start.

Hello. I recently had my steering wheel clock spring replaced on my 2005 G35 coupe and now the car won’t turn on. It cranks but won’t turn over. The fans turn on when key is turned to the on position and the gear indicator is not displaying anything. It’s an automatic. Please help.

You did something wrong. Retrace your steps and verify everything is plugged back in. Battery should be disconnected when doing this.

The car will start without the steering wheel installed so it's not the clock spring causing the problem. You get an SRS airbag error with the steering wheel removed though.

What's the security indicator light doing when you turn the key to start.

The engine DOES NOT CRANK AT ALL correct? Or does it crank but fail to run?
