My son came home from work and tried to install a new radio in his 04 tiburon(radio still not working). When he tried to start car, starter would not engage. I have tested the starter and even jumped the starter system at the starter relay switch under the hood. The starter will engage and turn the motor over with no problem. Tested the relay switch and it works fine. With the key in the on position, I have tried to start motor with a jumper wire to the relay switch and there is no spark at the spark plugs. Bought a new ignition switch that attaches to the back side of the key assembly and the starter will still not engage and the engine wont start by jumper wire to relay switch to engage starter. Any ideas what has happened?
At the starter relay, you have two red or purple wires, one goes to the starter and the other comes from a 30amp fuseable link. Is that fuseable link circuit hot ?
From the key switch, power goes thru the alarm relay, then the clutch safety switch or automatic selector switch, then to the starter relay. The fourth wire on the starter relay is a ground.
You should be able to put power to the starter relay on the white or yellow wire coming from the safety switch to make the relay engage.
My guess is something wrong with the alarm system.

Hi. This sounds like your "Neutral Safety switch". It's designed so that you don't start your car in gear in drive and accidentally crash.
Here is the part at autozone.
... These are in the shifter on most cars, but sometimes they are hidden on top of the transmission. I'm sorry, I don't have a book on your exact model.
Hope that helps.

SOURCE: starter tested good but still wont start
test you battery at parts store they can load test it for you headlites int lights are nominal draw. wipers blowers pull a little more current. but have it tested under load which duplicate the significant draw of a starter.

Transaxel range switch is on top of the transmission forward (radiator side).
SOURCE: Car won't start; radio & door chime work fine.
check ign. fuses,if ok,check wiring at starter,if ok,undo starter have it checked.replace if needed
SOURCE: we just bought a used
First of all did you check all fuses if so that ok, next did not mention changing crankshaft sensor. When you remove ht leads that go to spark plugs are they sparking use rubber handled pliers to do this or you will get a shock, if they ok did you set the clearence on the new plugs correctly?. also when cranking check with magni-stick pen to make sure injectors pulsing ie;getting signal. also immobilizer could cause engine to to start,usually light will flash on display to tell you this.last thing just make sure timing belt not snapped usually heard by engine turns faster than normal.
