Please help, car won't start after starter motor was replaced
The starter motor burned up the other day while trying to crank the motor and even after i replaced it with a new one it doesn't go unless i hotwire directly from the battery to the ignition terminal. I've checked all fuses under the driverside dash and passengerside underhood, and i can't find anything blown. I don't know what to do, it was just working the other day!!!

ya if the starter works with direct connection, somethings wrong with the wire system leading to the ignition.

The ignition switch could go out, the wires in the switch are small, you could also have carbon build up on the contacts. The carbon would be the result of excessive current. It is unlikely but possible.
With regards to the relays. When you turn the key the starter wire does not run from the key to the starter. It runs to a relay. This goes back to the wires in the switch being too small for the current.
