I just replaced my blend door which required removing the dashboard, after reinstalling the dash the truck will not turn on, there is a continuous relay clicking and no acc no ignition no key remote operation, battery is good, it is like it is in anti-theft mode? All worked good before I removed the dash, I even rechecked to make sure all connections are made, I would like to know what to check first and what order to check it in, please respond

Good morning,

Most likely the security system is engaged as the key has lost the password for the system.

If you don't have the IDS scan tool, the easiest way to handle it is to call a locksmith and have them come to you and re-program the system. Otherwise, you will need to have it towed to someone who can program it for you which will be much more than the locksmith.
