anyone???

first thing: disconnect the foglight harness from the car. Perhaps you put a wire in the wrong spot. try jumping the battery. might be a fuse, but I doubt it.

it could be anything electrical, its difficult for anyone on the internet to know what you did . Disconnect everything from the fogs and see if it startsup. Double check your work....
If it still wont start, time to take it to the dealer.

yea im pretty sure i checked all the fuses...would the immobilizer do that ...because the car turns on for like 2 secs n then it turns off...when i put in the key it doesnt even show the green key ....and i dont know why the temp guage turns off also...???

seems like the immobilizer to me. But then again it should work with your key no matter what.

Did you disconnect your battery during the install, if you didn't then try doing that for a few minutes, then reconnect it and see what happens.
