Replaced starter now car lost all power even drains battery. Now I have no sound at all when I turn my key. No spark no not that it just sounds like something is stopping the power to my ignition to tell it to start. Replaced the alternator still doing the same thing. But I am not sure if it is a factory alarm system or an aftermarket. Because when you unhook to terminal the battery and put it on the car alarm would go off the car can be jumped by pushing it and start it, because it is a manual. But it will not start with the I have been Googling a lot on the internet it said something about the relay 109 could be bad. But I could not find a relay 109 on my car is listed above. And also said about the the clutch switch. I have not tried that yet. Any suggestions for me on my right about bypassing the alarm system. But I am not sure what to do with the two wires that they are talking about. I am a woman I have nobody to help me. So I am trying to do everything myself. Looking for some advice and help with what can be wrong. I also put a new ignition switch and an ignition locking system on it. Like I said brand new alternator, brand new starter, brand new battery, brand new ignition switch ,and brand new locking system.

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com

The relay number can be different based on date of manufacturing. I want you to locate relay 30, which does the same as 109. It is located in the fuse/relay panel behind the dash on the driver's side. Also, check all fuses in the panel also. I attached a picture of the relay in a schematic.

Let me know if that helps. Also, reconfirm that the wiring to the starter is attached and the battery connections are clean and tight.

Let me know what you find.
