I replaced the starter and the starter relay and now it's not doing anything when I turn the key over. Before I replaced those two things it would click once when I turned it over.

I had it scanned and ended up discovering a wire from the starter that had been pinched during installment and was damaged. When I messed with this wire I was able crank the car. So going to replace this wire and hope that fixes the problem.
