Hey guys,
So yesterday I went to start the car and it wouldn't even engage the starter. I thought, at first, that it was a dead battery, because I was able to push start it. Later last night, when my wife got home, I used her car to try to jump it, and it still wouldn't start. At that point I assumed it was the starter. I pulled the starter off, and replaced it with a new one about 15 minutes ago, and it's still doing the same thing. Is there some sort of relay or something that it could be? If not, what the hell is the problem?
EDIT: The car has the factory alarm system. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with it. I don't have a volt meter, and any kind of electrical testing equipment. I'm hoping this is a common problem that has an obvious answer, because I'd really like to avoid bringing it to a mechanic.
Thanks!
Ricky
