No Power on key turn unless I unplug the key Switch and X3 on BCM

I am having an odd issue. Sometimes when I try to start the Goblin I get Nothing from the key turning. No Power No Dash nothing. Then if I unscrew the X3 plug on the BCM it will start normally...... Its odd and it doesn't seem to be an issue with Anti-theft. Has anyone had issues like this? I did cut the IGN wire on X3 in BCM by mistake and had to rewire it. Although I checked the solder multiple times and checks good every time when I move it around.

Sometimes I can get the car to get power with Unpluging the Anti-theft switch on the Key Housing. as well as the Green plug on it. This does not always work.

Check your IGN fuse on the BCM. Some of us had a no start issue unless we took off power or flipped the light switch from Auto to some other function. It ended up being a fuse on the BCM.

Also, you might want to add your vehicle information into your signature. Donor model would help people with diagnosing problems easier.

Glad it was something easy. On my car if you turned the lights from auto to off it would bring everything back to life. It was almost like a built in kill switch.
