Dash out, now won't start??

Morning all,
So I've had the dash out this week to sort the blower, servo, wiper spindles, clean earth's and do California Dreamin's headlight relay mod. Just got it back together last night and it won't turn over— nothing when I turn the key.
Wipers, washers, indicators, side lights, dash lights all work, but the bus won't turn over and no headlights dip or full beam (I need to double check the relay connections).
Any suggestions where to start looking would be great!!!
I'm hoping I'm just being a numpty... again.
Many thanks,
Blakie

OK just a bit of an update, the bus is alive!!! And I am a numpty (now that is much easier to live with than a broken bus.).
So that totally defunct Bosch alarm I found buried under the dash is also an immobiliser that's not so defunct- it was just wired up wrong.
Headlight mod is also working (thanks Cali dreaming they look so much brighter and it's very sunny today!) fat wire from fusebox to 87 and other end of fat wire up to dash from pin 86 on relay, and not the other way around I first had them.
Thanks
Blakie

I'm glad you got it sorted..... that would have been a difficult one to spot remotely
