I removed the alternator and the battery after my TII kept having trouble starting after sitting for any period of time, turns out it was the battery which was replaced for free under warranty. I reattached both wires to the alternator and hooked the battery up. My lights will come on, and I can turn my fuel pump on so I know I have some juice in the battery, but when I try to start the car it dosen't even make a sound like its trying to start.

Help me

It never did this before so I think I hooked something up wrong.

so the starter worked before you took it off? if so sounds like you hooked something up wrong, you could always have some place check ur starter.

He didnt replace the starter before, he did the alternator and the battery, its pretty hard to mess up hooking up a alternator and a battery so I wouldnt worry too much about that.

Have you tried push starting the car to see if it will start?

I would check all the wires to the starter and all other connections to make sure you didnt accidently knock something off.
