Hay guys. I am having a major issue now with my car.
Couple of weeks ago, i installed this JIC suspension. After a few weeks driving, it was clear that the suspension was broken, since i got it 2nd hand. so we took it off and swapped in the oem one.
After everything is done ( it took about 2 weeks, becuase i had to travel back and forth between school and house and study. we did the rear first and then we did the front yesterday night), now my car won't start. It won't crank over and no light was on.
don't know why.
but one thing that i am sure of is that the power from the battery isn't going to my car ( under the assumption that there is power still left in the battery). then we tried jump start my rx8 and it didn't work. we hooked the cable up to my brother's car and let his car start for about 3 minutes, and then tried to start my car. it didn't work.

any suggestion and advice on what the problem might be?
i don't think we destroyed any of the electric circuit while swapping in the OEM suspension. i am really confused now.
help will be greatly appreciated.

car: 2004 RX8 GT. there is no modification on the car right now. :scratchhe

welll.. i checked the wire and i couldn't find anything lose. are there specific wires that i need to look at ?

i will charge up the battery on a charger and try it out. see if it works.

thanks.

Does lights are anything work?
There is an "engine" fuse in the front fuse box. if it blows for some reason, the engine bay will not get any power---no start etc. But the lights, radio etc will work.

interesting...but i can't test that now cause i don't think the battery has power. i will charge it up first.
YES i know this may seem like a dumb problem because usually all you need to do is JUMP START...but it doesn't work here...confused as hell.
