Like the title says, I had a recent attempted theft on my car and now it won't start after getting a new starter and a new ignition wire harness. I turn the key and I hear a click and the clock goes out for a second, but nothing cranks and nothing fires. The lights do not dim or turn off whether the key is turned or just in the acc. position. The only thing that is not happening is that my car will not start up so that I can get to work. I did a VOM check on my ignition wires and found there was a reading in the wires before and after the relay while the relay is not in the slot. I do not know how to do a wire inspection so a walk through of the problem would be nice to have.
The same happen to my car and after a new starter and a new battery I figured out it wad the plastic part where all the cables meet and the switch has nothing to do with it. Basically the little white part were they insert the screw driver is what is messed up.

sounds to me that you have an igniton problem not a starter problem and or if you have or had an alarm system could be cause if u do give me feedback and i will explain but seems that your starter is fine from what u say but if you think in terms of the elemts to start a vehicle batery gives pwoer to ignition which sends to starter which gives spark etc i would check you ignition system something is causeing a short and not alowing starter to function

Sounds as if this is a Nuetral Saftey Switch or wire Problem check the N/S Cuircit for Opens.

i'm sure it's not the starter itself that is the problem, have the stater's solenoid checked...it might be stucked. It's quite a lot of work removing the starter but you can do it if you are willing enough to learn. You just need the right idea and tools to do it. Hope this will help save you bucks!

Check the ground cable going from the battery to
alternator, then to chassis. Make sure there is no
rust at the chassis ground wire terminal, and that it
is very tight. The fusible link will be off the alternator
red power cable,usually, but not 100% on that car.
Good luck.
