No crank

[Riggs96]

Ok I'm sure this issue been addressed already but being new I'm gonna ask . I drove my car last Friday, Saturday and Monday . Went to take it Thursday nothing , everything works but when I turn the key to start nothing . Tried for a while and gave up . Went out today to look at it , it fired right up . Shut it off and again it won't start. Checked battery - good, battery terminals clean and tight . All fuses under the hood good .The theft light don't stay on and can hear the fuel pump come on ,so looking for any help where to look .

If it has an aftermarket alarm then your having problems with the starter kill relay possibly. Starter could also be going bad.

It had one but I took it out . It was causing issues before . It's been out for a couple years with no issues.

Are you sure you removed the starter kill relay and not just the alarm brain??

as he said its easy to pull the main brain of the alarm but if there was a starter kill and you went to remove it you would have to reconnect the starter wires or the car would never start. Leaving the relay in would not change how the car operated with out the brain to control it but if the wire between the relay/brain were to get grounded then the relay would again activate and not let the car start.

Well took the rest of the wiring out from the alarm . Fixed the cut wire on the ignition switch and the wires they taped in to and still nothing . So I'm thinking starter only thing it could be .

You should get someone to try cranking it while you check the starter wire with a meter at the starter. Make sure it's getting Voltage first.

I would start by wacking it with a hammer before I dug out my meter

This. Whack means lightly tap, btw. Jarring it a little while someone if hold the key will sometimes give it a little kick start.
