Starter went bad, I replaced it a few days ago, reconnected everything as tight as possible, now it wont transfer any elec. To the rest of the car. This is my daily driver, haven't had any problems since I got it 3 years ago. Needless to say, I'm lost.

what do you mean it won't transfer electric to car? recheck your work. also check for battery hookups and pinched wires or were wires hooked up wrong? the purple wire should go to the "S" terminal on starter.
