Car wont start..

Hello all,

I'm no mechanic but here's my problem. I was adding power door locks to my em2 manual and everything worked fine but I tried to start the car the next day but now it won't start. I try to turn the key but nothing happens. Could I have in a way ruined my starter? I've been able to crank-start my car so that tells me it's either the battery or the starter. I thought I might've made a short because I have an after-market alarm and I burned a wire from my alarms 12V constant to the key's ignition. I gut that wire to check if that might've been it but it's all good. I also thought it might have been my alarms immobilizer but my alarm is working good. Can the fact that I crank-started my car rule out that I didn't mess up my ignition and it's not the immobilizer? Just wanted to ask you guys before I buy the starter. Oh, and when I try to turn it on I don't here any ticks but the radiator relay in my ignition and my starter ignition in the glove box. I checked them and they all look good. Thanks guys!!!

Does the green immobilizer light come on? Did you check the clutch bypass?
