My battery died, so I jumped it and started, but I turned it off and tried to turn it back on and it wouldnt start again, so I hooked up the wires to try it again but it still wouldnt start, I put it in neutral then it started, so I drove around and as I was driving the gauges started acting crazy until I stopped completely and started driving again, but them my hid lights started flickering, so after I got done driving I turned off the stereo, lights and everything, then turned off the car, and now it wont even budge when I turn the key, nothing comes on not even gauge lights, the battery got tested, it worked fine, the only thing wrong is I got the fuel pump fixed about four months ago and now its messing up again, other than that the car works fine

Hello,

First check the power distribution relay/junction block (see diagram). If make sure you do not have burnt unit.

You can also test the relays.

You also might have a faulty neutral safety switch. Which is why you will have to put it in neutral to start sometimes.
The switch is located on the side of the transmission.

Please let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
