a few days ago i got out of my car and set my alarm just like normal. when i came back to my car about 10 minutes later, i disarmed the alarm, got in, and went to start the car. when i turned the key, absolutely nothing happened, the car just went dead, no click, no radio, no lights, and even no alarm. so i pop the hood and check the connections, and eventually hook a battery charger to my battery. the charger said the battery was full, but i tried to use it to jump the car anyway. i set the charger to jump start, but nothing happens, still no power. then i checked to 80 amp fuse under the hood, it was fine. i was on my way to go out, so i hook the car up to the charger, and left it over night. the next morning i came out and hit the alarm button. the alarm chirped, and when i got in the car all the accessories worked (radio, lights, etc.) then, going from the acc. position to the start position, the same thing happened. on my way out again, i took my other car. thinking it was possibly the battery, i bought another. hook it up, and the alarm worked again, acc. worked again, but when i went to start it the same old thing happened. from this point i have pulled off the alarm box, still nothing, put it back on, and looked for the started kill but have had no luck. from what i understand from talking to friends, there is some sort of electrical fuse/relay/??? peice that causes a similiar symptom, but we have no idea what it is exactly. if anyone knows alarms or electrical diagnostics, i would greatly appreciate the help. thanks

 

Your problem does not sound like a starter kill; for, a starter kill it only kills the starter. The starter kill relay will not have no affect on lights not working and all of your vehicle accesory.

But if you think it your kill relay just by pass it and here's how: turn the key on, get a long jumper wire, put one of the wire at the positive terminal of the battery, then put the other end to the starter switch solenoid on the starter. It is located on the starter it self. it a small gauge wire the plug to a small housing. Just in case, install a inline fuse for a circuit protector if you never done this before. Your vehicle should start. and if it does, this confirm it's not your starter kill relay.


but... if I was you, I would inspect your ignition switch and wire. You may have an open.
