Like all I did was take a bulb out that I think lighted up the ac/heater controls that's all I don't hear any clicks or the fuel pump and I put a volt meter up to my power wire going into my cd player and it had power so I'm lost

seems like it might be a faulty neutral saftey switch. thats the switch that makes sure you in park or neutral to start the vehicle. I dont think doing what you did would cause anything like this. put it in reverse and see if the reverse lights come on. and try to start it in neutral,. or get a code reader and read the codes.

you checked both fuse boxes right?

usually if it is the nss it will come and go, like you can jiggle the shifter to get it to start.

if its not the nss i have no idea what it could be.

Okay had an idea I had to remove the switch on the steering column to get the dash piece off that is the only thing I know how can I check if the ignition switch is bad?

Are you sure it's not something as simple as you didn't re-connect a power wire back onto the battery. Did you mess with any wiring under the hood when adding speakers or anything?
