starter problem - car not starting

[clipsy98gsx]

i was messing with my car installing a new radar detector through the dash and also new headlights, im not sure which casued the problem...but when i turn the car in the on position the battery and everything work fine, (radar detector as well), but when i go to start it doesnt even try to spark, i was looking under the drivers seat and found two fuse connecters, one of which had a 7.5 volt fuse in it...the 7.5v fuse was toasted, would that have anything to do with the starter problem? its too hard to trace the wire back to the ignition or not, maybe someone can help...and even worse there is no replacement 7.5v fuses in the car (at least not in the hood/drivers side)...can anyone help i need to drive tomorrow i really need to get to work and schooll....


plllllllleeeeeeeaaasseeeee!!!! thanks so much i love you guys!!!

I know of no 7.5 amp fuses in a dsm. It sounds like someone hand wired something in (7.5 are often used for after market radios). You are going to have to follow the wire. Where does it go on this end?

one of the fuse connectors wires to a little black box, about 3-4 inches by 2 inches...its no the alarm box as that is below and i located that, when i stick in a 7.5v replacement i stole from another car one of the fuse connectors starts clicking

i personalyl think it is a starter power connector missing or something? since battery works perfectly and the spark plugs fail to hit the ignition....btw there are a couple lights that stay on when i try to star tthe car or it stays in the on position, the oil light is on, the ebrake light is on, and the battery light is on

any suggestions? please i need to go to work =/ appreciate anything

Could that box be a remote (wireless) starter (like for in winter)?
Those lites are normally on when the engine is not running and in the ON position.

wasnt sure about the lights was just making sure, nope no wireless starter on the car, double checked, any other ideas?

Is the black box look like a factory stock item or is it obviously after market or is it home made?
How many wires go to the black box and can u tell where any go? Any knobs, displays, other connectors etc, on the black box?
Are the fuse connector wires you speak of, inline fuses or in a fuse box?

hmm the attach pictures is giving me an error... lemme post them somewhere of the box ill give uthe link

here i put it on my cardomain, fourth page....thanks check it out, its factory for sure has a big power connector, i dont think anyone aftermarket/homemade would do this to a bone stock car...(i still dont know what it is tho)

Your link doesn't work. Gets: "We are sorry, your request has caused an error. "
Your engine turns over (starter engages and spins) but you are getting no spark on any plug - is that correct?
Did you test all the fuses and fusable links in the engine fuse box and left kick panel fuse box?
I doubt the connectors under the driver's seat have anything to do with your starting problem anyway. Did you cut any wires when you installed the radar or lights? Any problems during installation?
