Dash lights wont turn on, ignition does nothing

[UtmostTrickster]

No couldnt find it any of those, I put power onto one of the wires which turned the engine but now it is just making a solenoid tap which is under the cover next to the battery, anyone know what could be happening there?

Low Battery or high resistance terminals most likely...

Turning over the engine won't help unless you can bypass the ignition as well.

When you cut the siren it will have triggered the anti-tamper side of the Alarm I reckon.

The quality of the installation of after-market devices varies considerably. Have they used scotch locks to splice wires or have they done a proper job and crimped or soldered the joins?

Honestly mate, rip the whole aftermarket immobiliser/alarmy thingymebob out and back to stock IMHO ‘electronic nuffy me says’ :-)
Have had good mates from the burbs trucks let them down hard way out bush from similar 12v shenanigans :-(

Agreed. If you're just applying power to random ignition wires instead of removing the unit methodically and reconnecting everything how it needs to be you'll cause yourself more dramas.
