Can you rewrite this using punctuation or something? It's literally not cohesive and difficult to make sense out of what you're saying.

^^ lol. There is that.
99% sure you missed a blown fuse. There are 3 or 4 fuse panels. The one in question is likely under the dash on the left side but could be in the engine bay on the left also.

How did you test the fuses?

I checked all the ones in the engine bay as well as the one under the drivers side dash. I used a circuit tester and pulled some of them out to check if they were blown. I checked every fuse any other suggestions maybe a ground came loose?? They also drilled into my trunk for the back up camera but I checked the hole and nothing comes close to any wires.

HAHAH understandable I wrote this in a hurry. I’ll summarize it for you though. So basically my car won’t start..The brake lights won’t come on and neither will the green light on the Stop and Start switch. Checked all the fuses in the engine bay and under the drivers side dash. Any suggestions??? Keep in mind I did replace the stop light switch and made sure the battery was good everything else works.

You look at the fuseable links by the battery inside the clear plastic cover?

What does work? Does the orange light come on from pushing the button?

Yes the orange light comes on.
Everything works except the brake lights and the green light won’t come on the start stop switch. The car does go into accessory mode with both presses like it normally does without pressing the brake.

Has to be your stop light switch. Are you sure it is working? You started with a stereo install and actually there was another event, the stop light switch. Why did you replace the switch?

Is the fob blinking when in the car; do the doors unlock and all that? You try holding fob to the button?
Battery check!

yes the key fob blinks when I press it. The doors unlock & lock. I also tested the alarm button and everything. The battery is good I’m certain on both controller and car. It’s so weird everything works as it should expect brake lights and no green light on the stop start switch when I press the brake. I even tried jumping wires 1&2 on the brake switch harness but still nothing the brake lights should come on if it was the switch that was bad.

There is a stop light relay also. I'm not sure if it's your problem, or not. I have some post on this thread, and Jeff mentions the location of said relay. Though you don't have any codes present. It's worth checking into also.

What’s the difference if the car doesn’t let me unlock and lock my doors or use accessories when in accessory mode? The car still tells me to depress the brake but and i had the battery checked and recharged all good.
