Default No interior power

Well the 2000 is comming along, however I have no interior power. We have checked all the electrical and found no problems. Thinking it is most likely is a dead BCM. It there any other things I should be checking?

2000 we have to finish the interior and do the final buff

Did you make sure that the power cable is connected at the engine fuse box?

So you have a no crank/no start with the only things that work are the door locks and radio ??...why I asked specifically what isn't working so I may have some direction...now that you mentioned the car won't start may lead me down a different path !!...what and how did you "jury rig" the starter ?????

I didn't do the starter wireing but somehow they installed a relay for the starter. It does work with the key.
Nothing elec in the interior is working except the above mentioned. We have go through all the wireing, fuses and relays and all checked out fine

Not a lot to go with here !!...can you see what codes you have stored using the DIC...may give us some direction...I would take a 12 volt test light and see what is powered or not at the IPC fuse box...it may give you some direction...write down what is powered or not !!...if you think it's the BCM did you check its powers and grounds ??

Just remember some circuits are “hot at all times” and some require the key to be on !!

There are two large 60 amp fuses in the footwell fuseholder that supply power to the two large red wires connected to the ignition switch, if one of those fuses is blown a lot of circuits won't have power.
