EB not turning over

Ok i have a 98 EB with 160k on the odo. I just replaced the heater core on it(fun stuff), and put everything back together and now it doesnt turn over. It has an aftermarket alarm on it, and when you go to arm and disarm the car the doors lock and unlock, but the alarm is not set.
Also, the steering wheel doesnt lock anymore.
When i go and turn the key to get it to run, nothing happens, like in the ignition is bad, but it turned over and drove the day before. Any and all help will be greatly appriciated, thank you

Here's what I think you need to check. First of all check your fuses to make sure they're all good. If they're good check all the connections on your alarm system, some alarms disable the starting circut when armed. You may have had a connection come loose going to this circut.

Nothing as it the starter doesn't engage or nothing as in no dash lights, radio, blower motor, etc.?

The first thing I did was check all the fuses. My next step was going to check all the connections for the alarm system. When I say that nothing happens I mean that The starter doesn't turn over, everything else works.

Well while i was getting a new transmission for my truck, my dad figured it out, apparently i didn't put the alarm ground strap back on. Didn't know it was there. So its working now, hopefully nothing else happens(knocks on wood)
