FD questions starter and coolant

So tge other day the car started perfectly fine not even a hiccup. I drove it about 20 miles shut it off, when I went back to leave the starter wasn't doing anything the battery is perfectly fine. The starter isn't even trying. Not even a clicking sound. Is there a relay that goes to the starter somewhere that might have blown?

Also when I start the car the coolant buzzor comes on minute it minor warms up the light goes off and the car is completly normal, no overheating or even going past halfway in 100 degrees.

If the alarm isn't causing the problem, replace the starter.

did you check if your getting constant 12v on the starter? read out your wires before you start replacing parts. you might have a blown fuse, loose connection. the buzzer turns on due to low coolant or disconnected plug.
