I took positive cable off of battery. Had to take the fuse box out when I put it back in car won’t start. I pulled the positive cable off of battery for a few minutes. Then the fuel pump started working the doors would ding when open and dash lights came on all except the mileage. but the car still won’t start. It has now power where the starter relay goes.

Hello,

Can I ask if the battery is new? Here is a guide that will help test it also can I ask if the security light is flashing while you try to crank it over? These two guides should help us.
