Default Help! 2013 JK Sahara won't start!

Disconnected the battery and now it won't start. Battery is good, lights come on, everything appears to be fine but won't turn over. I've tried the spare key and it does the same thing. Checked the computer and no codes. However, it will start remotely. Any ideas?

i know this sound stupid but did you try unlocking with you key fob first. Sounds like a security issue.

Battery connection must be tight. Actually for kicks I'd reseat the battery connection and tighten it hard. If you did already then check the big fuse.

Fuses are good. Connections are tight.

If I don't figure it out by Monday morning, that's where I'm heading!

Try disconnecting both cable and touch the together. Why did you have the battery disconnected?

Tried that too.
Removed battery and distribution block to runs wiring for rock lights. Put everything back after we ran the wires and it wouldn't start. Haven't tapped into any wiring harness on jeep at all.
