Just got this car in non running condition. Replaced starter, battery and ignition switch. When I go to turn it over all lights, fan all that works but wont crank a bit! I tested starter outside car and it works great. I'm pretty much out of ideas. Not sure if it's a relay and I checked all fuses pretty sure.

Any clicks or noises when attempting a crank?

Have you tried to manually turn the engine over two revolutions with a wrench or ratchet to insure the engine ain't seized up? I'd do this with the battery disconnected!

Other than that, I got you two diagrams from "Prodemand".

I had to make two screenshots of each diagram in order to get them fully. I was sure to overlap them so nothing is lost.

Images 1 and 2 are for the automatic transmission starting system.

Images 3 and 4 are for the manual transmission starting system.

These should show everything involved.

Okay, so that problem was fixed by finding out a fuse was not in proper location. Now it cranks. Thank you
