Well, I haven't driven my car for 2 to 3 years, it has been parked out in the sun and nobody bothers turning it on. Now I'm trying to get it running but no luck. Got a new battery changed the fuel pump drained the gas tank however my car was broken into by amazing neighbors of mine. I notice the three relays under the glove box left to right (black with four connects, blue with 5 connects and a brown with four connects) what's weird are the two cables both same color yellow/black connected in the harness which makes contact with one of the four brown relay connections. My next relay is blue with 5-pin connection. However, its harness has only four cables coming in contact with blue relay when it's a 5-pin relay. Is that normal for main relay known as s 1 and 2? Could that be the reason my car refuses to start? As if things aren't bad enough I also believe the relays in my car are not the ones it should have. I'm in desperate need of diagrams to rewire and set the proper relays and connections. I don't know what to make of it.

First of all, thanks for the video, it helps, we can help you get this running for you. I didn't hear the engine crank over, so I assume this is the problem. With the key in the "crank" position move the gear shifter into neutral to see if the engine cranks over. If the engine does crank over, I would like to hear it, I can tell if the engine is okay. Here are the starter wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what you find.
