Car wont start after brake install

I just got done installing a complete stoptech brake kit(rotors, pads, brake lines). After bleeding the calipers i go to start the car and it wont turn over, theres bo click or anything. Also, the lights dont turn on. Any ideas of what could be wrong?

Something else went wrong that has nothing to do with brakes...

Any other info you perhaps forgot to mention? pads,rotor, and brake line swap has no effect on the starting system. It does sound like you have a dead battery.

did you hook your brake lines to your battery instead of the calipers? if so try switching it around

Post up any results of a battery test. Have you tried jumping the car off of another one yet? Need to know if you're dealing with a battery issue or another electrical issue possibly from the fuxe box outwards. I'm sure it is completely coincidental that this happened while doing a brake upgrade, as one should have nothing to do with the other. But it sucks nonetheless.

You have a dead battery and chances are you might had the accessories on with the car off and drained the battery.
