Hi there my is Duane, my car will not crank or start. I just changed the starter and it still will not do anything. I would like to know what is the problem?

Do you have power to everything else? Also, check the main fuses under the hood. I attached a diagram of the unit. Check the last one on the list.

It could be the ignition switch or neutral safety. Here is the starter wiring diagram and a guide to help you do some simple testing to see where you are losing power. Is the security light flashing?

Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.
