and Now it Won't Start
 
Follow-up on a prior thread-

2000 986
Installing a bluetooth add-on from Pelican.
Still no power to the orange wire on the back of the stereo, but works when I plug into an external USB port.

But now the car won't start. I suspect I shorted the orange wire.
Does anyone know where the orange wire gets its power? Which fuses or relays might have been fried? Other places to look?

The car started and ran well before I started fooling with the stereo.
Now when I turn the ignition key on all dash lights come on but no clicking, no fuel pump noise. If I turn the headlights on & try to start it, the lights dim completely.
It's a 2000 Boxster Base, manual trans.

So here's what I've tried so far:

- Battery is charged, tried a battery from another car
- Tried another key
- Checked all fuses that appear to have any relation to audio or ignition
- Jumped clutch switch
- Replaced start lock solenoid (local auto parts store generic) - no joy
- Swapped start lock solenoid with AC compressor solenoid - no joy
- Jumped start lock solenoid pin 87 & 30 - Starter Turned but would not run

E-9 was blown
