I recently put in a new crank angle sensor and changed the timing belt. Got through the security reset, I believe. I pushed the reset under the dash near the blinking red light. Turn on the key, all lights and accessories come on, I hear a click under the dash near the fire wall. Computer? I do not get anything at the starter. Have power to the big wire but not to the small wire when key is turned.

Thank you, I did check those fuses yesterday and all appeared good. I am headed over to the car now, and will try the reset steps. Thanks again

Found the reset, that worked! Thank you for the link! Seems to have a rough idle now? Could I trouble you for thoughts on that?

Put an obd2 scanner on it, reading random misfire. Misfire cylinder six, cylinder five, cylinder four and cylinder one?

Your timing could be off on the timing belt was it running rough before the timing belt replacement?There shouldn't be any need for the computer to reset itself.
