Well, everything seems to be working regarding the lights now that I have put in decent leds. That being said i now have two other issues. One of the projects I was tackling at the same time as the LED dome light timer was a new radio. Pulled the old aftermarket, wired up the new one correctly using the same wires. So I'm not sure if my other issues are a result of the led timer or radio wiring. First issue is the car won't start. I turn the key, hear the pump, turn the key to start and everything shuts off. Second issue is central locking locks together but only unlocks with independently.

Was the car running before your electrical work? I would check your grounds and inspect all your fuses. Is the battery strong enough to turn the engine over?

Can you be more specific about the non-start sequence?

Exactly what shuts off?

How good is the battery and are the terminals on it clean? Try a battery pack or jumper cables. The Central Locking System probably needs the switches in the doors cleaned up and adjusted. You may also have cooked solenoids and they need to be rewound or replaced.
