What's up all? I recently lost the only key to my 08 Forester. So, I went to the dealership with the VIN and had a key cut. It did not unlock the ignition/no turn at all. I then proceeded to install a new ignition lock w/cylinder. Checked all fuses, charged the battery fully using a trickle charger. Only components working are the horn, hazards, and dome lights. Is this possibly an issue with the stock security system? Something else? Before I go out and double check the wiring connections for the new lock I was hoping someone might have some thoughts.
 
I purchased the lock and cylinder from a salvage. I just don't understand why lights, radio, windows, etc. are not working. I guess I'll use a test light on the fuses and go from there.
