some one stole my radio, i replaced it and now my car won't start. won't crank, light work, radio works until you turn key then radio stops restarts. can hear fuel pump lights will remain on when key is turned but nothing from starter. Fuel cutoff switch is down, thougnt it might be neutral safety switch but, when removed and bypassed still no action. any help will be appreciated.

I believe the events are coincidental.

Check your fuse box under the hood. There is a fusable link marked C110. Make sure that it is still good. If it is, tap your starter with a soft mallet, and then try starting it. I have a feeling that it is your starter.
