Already had the starter, battery, and altenator checked. Everything was fine. The car died on me today. It was making a clicking sound even though the key wasn't in the ignition. Found the relay that was causing the noise. Changed it now the car will not crank at all? Help please

I have no alarm system hooked up to my car or anything that will pull a charge after my car is cut off.

to me it sounds as if you had a fusible link blow. This is like a regular fuse,It does the same job as a fuse, just handles more current. The best thing to do is to trace the wires coming from the starter, and check for any spots that look melted or burnt. Best to take it to a shop and explain your problem to them.

Sounds like you might have a bad alarm system. It can kill the ignition and trigger lights and horns and whatever else is hooked up to it.

Look for a bad connection on the ground wires.

Check the power lock circuitry,....................caravan/voyagers are notorious for this. Mine lock me out. Thank You, Rob in PA.
