the blue wire from my turbo timer shorted to ground. now my car does nothing when i turn the key on, no dash lights, wont crank, nothing. Is there a fuse for the blue wire on the ignition switch?? or what else could have gone wrong??!! any help appreciated

I'd go through and check all the fuses in the dash and in the PDC under the hood. Anything come on at all? Fuel pump? Headlights? Tail Lights? Brake Lights? Power Mirrors? Battery have voltage? Is the TT still hooked up or have you completely removed it and returned the car back to how it was wired from the factory?

my headlights, tail lights, locks, blower motor, interior lights, windows work. When i turn on the key i have no dash lights or function from the instrument cluster or turbo timer, car will not crank. Id imagine that a wire ran to the ignition switch should be fused but i could not tell from the wiring diagrams. Im going to double check the fuses and remove the turbo timer

Check the fuses in the PDC (underhood) IIRC there is one that feeds most of the stuff that isn't working.

there is also a main power fuse inside the car i think it is spot 11 if i am not mistaken, i had this problem a few years back, and all it was is that fuse had blown... it is ur main ignition fuse.

I got it fixed! it was the 30A starter fuse in the under hood fuse box. Thanks guys

On that note, go put an inline fuse on ANY electrical things you add in the car.

Saves headache like this later.
