Alright, I've done some searching around, but haven't seen anything so far with quite the problem I've got, and I'm guessing it's electrical issues. Here goes:

Was driving the car, everything was working about as fine as it usually does (Not particularly fine, but at least it works, right?). I parked the car, about two, maybe three hours later I go to get in it and drive it home. Nothing. No starter click, but everything lights up as it should, and if I had a radio, that would have worked too, I'd imagine.

I tried jumping it, nothing. Charging the battery, nothing. Replacing the battery, nothing. I tapped the starter, that was a no go as well. I then replaced the starter, still nothing. The car will not click, will not try to turn over, even when you hook a remote start direct to the starter, or jump straight from it to the battery with a pair of cables. Now the internal lights and headlights don't work, which I'm assuming is a bad fuse or fusible link, but no point in replacing it until I figure out why my vehicle won't start.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated, as I know very little about third gen wiring, and car electronics in general. I just have the vaguest idea about how to turn a wrench. I've also tried starting the thing in both park and neutral, and neither works.

The car is an 89 Firebird Formula, 305TBI, 700R auto trans.

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

check your battery terminals for good connection, check your fuses, and the three fusible links at the starter.

 

I've been through all the fuses, none of them are bad. The fusible links, I'll check tonight.

 

Well, I checked the ones I know about and none of them appear to be bad. I didn't have a multimeter on me, but none of that had that elastic feel that I've read about.

Any other ideas, anyone?

 

well all your interior lights and headlights get there power from the fusible links at the starter. When you changed the starter did you wire it up the same? Check to make sure the battery source wire is on the same terminal as the fusible link wires.

It could also be a bad connection at the battery or the main ground from the battery that goes to the engine block, maybe it broke off.

Also you should really actually check these things with a multmeter and not just eyeball them especially the fusible links.
