Default tC not starting/ wiring

Hey all, my friend's tC is having some major issues. I am trying my best to figure out what the deal is. His car has a remote start/ alarm in it and a PC built into the car. His car wont start after trying to relocate the wire that powers the PC from the ACC to ON. I have checked all of the connections on the ignition plug as well as going over the alarm and PC. When the key is turned from the OFF position to the ACC and even ON position, none of the lights on the gauges light up. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. We also have checked every fuse known to man,
Thanks,
Shane

more info from owner. The alarm will not arm or disarm. Also it was taking a wire for PC from 12V constant 25 amps to 12V constant at 30 amps this worked fine once or twice then nothing.

sounds like you blew an ignition fuse thats under the hood. These are not normal fuses but look more like a small box. Check those out first.

that sucks!!!! I hate dealerships cause they sit around doing nothing and charge you an arm and a leg. Thats why I love knowing all about electrical systems in cars.
