*sigh*.. electrical works, starter won't click, have aftermarket alarm
I just got my FD (yay), but had to replace the battery.
So, just like when I lose power in my Civic, I have to disable the ignition disabler after I reconnect power. Only thing is, this thing doesn't seem to have a ignition disable disabler (yeah..)
Anyhow... so here's my problem.. specs, and all that..
'93 RX-7
Auto trans (yeah I know, quiet.. I don't like it either.. and I think it may be part of the problem)
New battery
New 120A main fuse (crap that's big..)
Code Alarm alarm system
Also the stock system *might* be hooked up still, but I don't think so.
SO.. here's the problem.. the interior lights don't work, the radio turns "on" but doesn't play, all signals work fine, AND the real problem, the starter won't click OR turn at all. I turn it to "start", and the radio goes dark (like it's supposed to), but no click or nothing.
Where to look? Where do I check? Could the starter fuse have blown? IS there a starter fuse? Even then though, the signal wire TO the starter should click the solenoid over to the ring gear to allow it to engage, correct?
Help me out here

oh.. and I just tested the codes.. not pulling ANY codes.
I've found two blown fuses so far.. one, the Main (120A) fuse.. and two, the interior "room" fuse.
I think that happened because the guy who was transporting it tried to jump it, but he hooked it up backwards (durrrh)... he saw a red wire and went for it (when it was really a ground wire (don't know why it was red) for something miscellaneous the previous owner upt on it). So, the Main fuse, and the interior "room" (10A) fuse blew. I've replaced them both.
Is there a separate fuse for just the starter? Or what should I check at this ponit?
Oh one more thing, it shows "P" in the gauge cluster too, so I don't think it's thinking it's in gear.. I'm pretty sure it knows it's in park.

found ANOTHER fuse blown.. the "rear wiper" fuse.. which really was the HVAC system (fan blower, A/C switch, all that jazz).
It seems anything that was "enabled" when he hooked it up in reverse, ended up blowing. Which isn't making me extremely happy right now, but nonetheless, if the only thing is fuses, I'm happy.
