Disconnect what you just installed & see if it starts. Could be a starter than coincidentally went bad, or one of your wires is shorting something out.

well the starter did go out and i replaced that as well, i had the deck out when i replaced the battery and it started once, then i put the deck back in and now nothing again..... any ideas on what to check or what in the wiring of the deck could cause this? :confused:

If you disconnect the deck now, does it start? If not, perhaps a wire got tugged loose - maybe one going to the ignition?

nope still not starting, and it doesnt look like any wires came loose or disconected. is there a way to reset the ecm? maybe its reading a system short or bad ground?
