Oh I forgot to say thanks to Mac vid for the thread including diagrams for the wiring. I’m clueless as to where to start when it comes to testing fuses and ignition systems . I’ll have to learn because from what I have gathered,it’s
Definitely something to do with the ignition to starter that shutting out right before cranking . If it does boil down to an ignition issue.. I’m hoping it doesn’t involve me taking it to a dealer for new key new ignition and programming smh …

Here’s what I got . It’s like it’s just the starter but nothing else . Does it suppose to start this way ? I’m definitely buying a voltimeter my next day off . It’s sounding like something super easy

So if your car crank by jumping the relay but does not start, then you have indeed starter circuitry problem. But to find what's wrong, yeah, you need multimeter.
Good luck. Electrical problem are one of, if not #1, hardest thing to concur. But be careful, make sure you don't fry anything else. Otherwise, it will be very expensive fix.
