TRUST

I was changing out my starter, after installing the new one and going to test things out my FC Commander stopped working. After I noticed that and I tried to start the car, it didn't turn over or nothing... not even a click from the starter. I pulled every single fuse out and checked them out, none were burnt, split or fried the least. Some fuses had a little corrosion in them but didn't seem like a issue.

So after checking all fuses I still can't get this thing to start up. I even went through with a multimeter and check the lines from the battery, etc. All seemed good.

I'm thinking my ECU isn't getting any power at all since the FC Commander isn't turning on when I turn the key.

Check your main fuses there is two of them!

was there more than 1 wire on the cable on the starter? Are they all hooked up?

Since TRUST is going to cax Ill try to get some answers and information for him...

Yes all the connections on the starter are present..we even used another battery to maintain a constant 12v on the starter...but we started at the battery...its good, the connection from the battery to the main fuses and the ground to the battery...its good, the fuses themseves all taken out and inspected and ohmed out a few that we felt were important..theyre good...MY personal theory is the ignition swithch since there are some of the lights on the dash arent coming on that are usually on when the key is turned to ACC and there is no click whatsoever even when the starter is connected to another power source and it doesnt seem like there is any power to the ecu. He cleaned the copper connections on the ignition switch as some people have posted that its sometimes a problem solver. Still no dice. Didnt get to long yesterday to work on it b/c..well...our wives just dont understand.

I've got a similar problem right now as well... car was slow to start a couple nights ago. Drove it about 15 miles or so like it normally does, and the VERY next am; I went to move it and nada. As soon as I put the key in the ignition, it clicked and ALL power just stopped. I don't even get the courtesy light above the key hole to light up much less any other power. Battery is good and the fuses look good as well. Several mechanics I know have suggested it has something to do with the starter solenoid, but that just doesn't seem right to me. Have you guys figured out what the cause of your problem was yet backroad?

Found a 9.5V drop on the ground side of my battery. My ground had started to come loose. Just a few quick turns of the socket and problem fixed. Best of luck to you guys in fixing your problem.
