My 1997 chevy lumina I was gonna put a new stereo in but the new one was junk so installed the stock one again. In the process I discovered the orange power wire for some reason has no power anymore. A friend said go old school and run power line from the battery to the stereo. I did connected it all back up seemed fine. Than the stereo started acting like it was not getting power. I made sure the line was good it all seemed fine. Tried to start the car it would not start just made a click click sound. Now it does not even do that. It does nothing at all when I turn the key. I seem to have power to the lights and stuff but no dash lights and no stereo and wont start just silent when I turn the key. What else should I do or check thanks
Check fuses

If the battery has gone dead, it could cause the security system to go into full lock-up mode. If it has locked up the accessories will work after the battery is charged back up , but the power to the starter will be cut off and it wont turn over. You need to do the 30 minute learn procedure. A GM dealer will print it out for you and you can do it yourself. It's very simple if you follow the procedure exact. hope this helps and good luck.

sounds like a dead battery to start with. Not even enough juice in the battery to energize the solenoid / brake interlock to get it out of PARK. Hope this helps
