It will not turn over. Good starter, no broken wires. All lights, radio and power works. Had the starter tested. All good.
Do you
have the same problem?

The starter relay is the theft deterrent relay that can stop the starter from working. Here is a wiring diagram and a guide so you can do some testing and get the problem fixed.

Check the system fuses and the relay here are two guides that will help
