Died on me. I replace the alternator and starter because everything else dealing with power has already been replaced. And still nothing. Is there a code that you have to reset when replacing either of the two?

There is no code. Are you getting power to anything on the vehicle? Have you checked all main fuses under the hood?

Try this. Have a helper turn the key to the start position while you check for power to the smaller wire on the starter. When the ignition is in the start position, that wire should get power. If it does, most likely the starter is bad.

Let me know what you find.

So I took the starter back and got another brand new one and still the same thing. So I'm thinking is the neutral safety switch. There is one on the clutch pedal and one underneath the hood how do you test them?

Check power in and then for power out when you depress the clutch.
