swapped O2's, now car won't start

I just swapped both my O2's from one side to the other to troubleshoot a different problem. When I went to fire it up, it wouldn't start. It was like trying to start it without the clutch pushed in, nothing happens (yes I was pushing in the clutch). Does anyone have any idea what could've happened?

You may have inadvertently pinched one of the brown wires going to the O2s which is powered by the 10 amp fuse #11 under hood. This fuse also supplies voltage to the ignition coil. Check the fuse.

Fuse is good. I can hear the starter solenoid click when I try to start it. At least I think that's what I'm hearing. Everything has power. I measured 12.5 volts at the starter with key out of ignition. Maybe clutch switch? I'll unplug it and jumper the connection then try to start it I suppose. That will be for the morning, very tired.

In your first post you say nothing happens and in your second post you say the solenoid clicks. Which is it?

Solenoid clicks, also VATS is removed. I stuck some wire I had lying around in the end of the clutch switch wire and tried to start it, didn't change anything.

The starter signal wire was loose, all fixed
