Try this. Look at the attached jpg. See the blue connector? It's located or buried under the trail coil assy (if you don't have factory theft protection).

Access it. Then pull the blue jumper plug off the harness. Put it to the side. Look at the harness plug. Find the large black/whte wire (the jumper wire in the blue connector would have been opposite the black/white and black/green wires in the harness plug).

If one gets a piece of long wire that reaches from the battery positve post to that black/white wire, he can make the starter turn over. Bare both ends of the long wire. Put/stuff one end in the socket with the black/white wire. CAR OUT OF GEAR. Now touch the other end of that wire to the batt positive post. Starter will turn over if it's any good.

Now if the key were on the engine might have started. Might not have started. You might try the key after doing this because that act Might have gotten things workiing somehow. But the blue jumper would have to be put back on the harness plug if you use the key.

IF you have factory theft protection, you'd find the theft relay near the Main Relay and pull the plug off the relay and do the above.
