When you try to crank the engine over do you get power to the yel/gry wire at the starter motor? If so, the starter is bad, can you turn the engine over by hand? This guide can help. Also, let's check fuse #11 and #22 inside the TIPM under the hood fuse panel.

Here is how to change the starter out in case you need it and the starter wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works. Check out the images (below). Please upload a short video in your response to the problem so we can see what's going on.

In the crank position do you have power to the yel/gry wire at the starter solenoid?
