Wiring Issue - Need Help

I started another thread about fixing my fans and it turned out to be one of my connectors that was messed up. After fixing that and putting everything back together, the car only cranks, doesn’t start, I have no power steering, and no breaks (besides E-break)

I’ve been looking at diagrams for a bit now and I can’t see anything that related all 3 of those things together in or around the area I was working. I didn’t touch anything besides the connectors near the fans. The EPS fuse is still good. I only touched Fan Relay #1

I can’t tell if it’s ignition or fuel that isn’t operational, however I hear my fuel pump coming on when I turn the key. If it is fuel I only cranked it over a few times so I’m hoping that I didn’t flood it, but if so I’ll have to go through the Deflooding thread.

If anyone knows a common link between all of these, that would be a huge help, otherwise I’m completely lost and will most likely have to tow it to a shop.

Found what the issue was! A bunch of random things that at first seemed like issues led me astray. Turns out I had moved the car and turned it off cold when I first went to work on it, so at that point it had flooded. On top of that, since I had been testing electronics and such while fixing the fan issue, I had discharged the battery enough for where it wasn't enough to start the car, which ended up flooding it more. Did the "flat foot start" for 10 seconds intervals ever 20 seconds 3 times, let it sit, and then again and it started. Was a little rough at first, but gave it some well deserved beans and all is well again. Now the car can idle and not overheat which is a bonus!!

TL;DR: noobie stuff

It pays to be stubborn - good to know you solved the problem. Providing the solution helps other with a similar issue.
