we installed a new starter.
it started for a couple days and now i can't get it to crank is there a relay or electrical component that may be the problem? or maybe it could be something else?

I apologize for the delay......First off, will it crank in neutral? if so theneutral safety switch (trans position sensor) is probably bad. If not go to starter and test small wire with test light, if no power in crank position it may be a bad starter lock-out relay module, it is located behind the left side of theinstrument cluster.Also check fuse #5 in the fuse panel
