Car wont start - need help
Ok I think my battery is fine since my alarm works. When i try to start the car, the battery and brake lights come on but no cranking at all. Could this be caused by my alarm? I did mess around and ziptie some of the wiring under the dash to free up some space a couple of days ago. And i dont think its the main relay since the car wont crank.
I also noticed my passenger door wasnt closed all the way. So this prbably affected my alarm. SHould I just unplug the alarm and try it?

what does your dome light do when you try to start the car? if it dims when your trying to crank the car and the motor does no turn over you may have a stuck starter.
If you dome light does not dim, you may have a totally dead starter, or the signal is not getting to the starter. If you moved wiring around you may have disturbed a relay or the wiring to the alarm. depending on how the alarm was installed and what type of alarm it is disconnected it will not help.
I would go back to where you zip-tied wires up and take a close look and any wiring connections in that area

So turn my dome light on and try and start the car?
I doubt its the starter because the car was working fine until today. The alarm has a starter kill. Do you know how to disable the starter kill, as in which wire?

the dome light slightly dims when i try to start the car. But no cranks. The alarm seem unlocks the doors fine so it shouldnt be the starter kill. What should i do now?
