Dunno what to do, im going to be getting a mobile auto electrician tomorrow arvo Hopefully. Is there a main fuze on the fuze box? it just seems like theres no power on acc or ignition. i'm getting power from stuff running directly from the battery tho.

Check your fuses to see if any of them went when you were fiddling with them.

(sorry I know you've posted pics, but I cant see them from work :(

there is a bunch of wiring coming from the back of the ignition switch (place where you place your key). Its a connector, ECU-MAN was saying you may have knocked it.

Hahahha found the problem, bloody bullcrap seriously. I've had the car for 7-8 years myself and my brother had it for 2 years before me and in its time its been broken into a bunch of times and they have broken the alarm/immobilizer. I've given it to RAC repairers to fix the times they were broken and i found out today that my car was running two immobilizers. They didnt even remove the old one, and some how the broken one activated itself. I must of triggered a loose wire in its main housing and anyways Thats why my car wouldn't start.

was really annoyed when i found out
