Default 2008 LR2 won’t turn over/ start

I have a 2008 Land Rover LR2 that won’t start/ turn over. Just recently, I replaced the radiator and front clip myself. Everything was reconnected. All of the lights turn on when I insert the key and press the start button, but the vehicle won't even turn over or attempt to start. Nothing I tried—including jumping it—worked, including leaving the charger on battery. No fuses blew. I made an attempt to disconnect and reconnect the battery. Nothing. Do I need to perform a reset procedure or is it possible that I didn't connect something? Before changing the radiator, there were no problems. The indicator light is flashing and no check engine light on. Approx mileage 156k.

What indicator light is flashing? Does the steering wheel unlock when you insert the FOB? I assume you are also pressing the brake pedal before pressing the start button, and the transmission is in Park?

Sry, I didn’t mean indicator light. I meant the security system light is flashing. Yes, I am applying the brake pedal when I push start button and yes, steering wheel column unlocks and transmission in park.

If it started before and doesn't now, Ockham's Razor dictates this statement is not correct. You need to retrace all your actions and make sure you did reconnect everything as it was before.

Thank you! Is it possible I could have disconnected the camshaft sensor when I was replacing my radiator?

Highly likely if you removed the intake plenum.
