My immediate suspicion is that the last change you made is the cause of it not
starting now. What door buttons are you referring to? Those that operate the
courtesy lamps when the doors are opened/closed? Or, for power windows &
locks? or, something else?

Most importantly, what were the colors of the wires you operated on when you
did this?

Can you easily UNdo what you did? That's prolly gonna be the best way of
determining if it's not starting because of something you just did to it.
