So I installed coilovers last week. Drove on them one night to test them out after slammed and rubbed through wiring harness in the wheel well and two wires rubbed together and my starter started cranking uncontrollably, as well as the engine started shutting on and off. This happened simultaneously. I immediately turged off the car and pushed it to a parking lot. Then I I taped up the two wires that were exposed and removed the harness protector and replaced it with fleX hosing and cable ties to secure it up out of the way of the wheel. Then went to start the car and nothing. Everything works but when I turn the key to start it there is no sound at all.

I checked all the fuses, tried jumping the car, tried reseting the alarm system. NOTHING WORKED.

Any ideas?????

lord help you if you burned up the starter.

check all the fuses again, then remove the starter relay, closest one to the engine, and jump these 2 pins to check if your starter cranks. if it does, replace the relay, if it still doesn't work recheck all of your wiring in the wheel well and relocate it to the engine bay.

Agreed ^^ sounds like you burnt out the relay.

How do I jump those two pins?

If anyone can elaborate on how to test a starter while still on the car please do.
