Sir please don't lose it we have experts in here that can get you back on the road-all you have to do is pay close attention and do exactly what they recommend Have you tested the starter relay? Okay remove the Red and Light blue wire connector from the starter relay-Now hold key at cranking position do you have battery voltage to the red and light blue connector at the starter relay-No power at the connector-look for power at the transmisssion range sensor left side of transmission Pink wire-none there check fuse no. 24 10 amp also see EWD below
