Assuming it started/ran fine prior to changing the batter and plug wires? Does it click when you try to turn on the car? or like literally nothing happens?

I’ve only had it a week, I didn’t notice it before that there is a car with a lock icon on the gauges blinking.

Click to expand...

So, you can jump the solenoid to start the car?


Then replace the solenoid. If that doesn't solve it, you need to look at your ignition switch.

Either that you put something back together wrong.

It doesn’t start the car but with the screwdriver it cranks over, I put a couple different relays, switched it out with a couple of the other one’s.

Change the starter solenoid and/or ensure that everything was put back together correctly.

The solenoid on your car is the round cylinder piggy-back on the starter. The [relay] in your car, I think is mounted nearby the starter or is mixed in with the under-hood fuse panel.

If the relay is clicking but the starter is not starting then the solenoid is bad or wired wrong.
