where is the location of the starter relay on a 98 gst? i couldnt find it in the fuse box right above the air filter, and i dont know where else to look.
ok this is an edit. i think the starter relay is right behind the radio??? I'm not sure, i saw some diagram on here and it gave a general area.
I have a big problem. I left the car in 4th gear when messing around inside, I was loooking at the afc(car was off) and examing throttle percentage. my afc is mounted below the radio, in front of the shifter, so i shifted to 4th for a better view. anyways, i left it there. When I come back to the car a few hours later to go out, i remote start the car like i usually do, and it lurched forward (4th gear DOH!). never actually started, just jolted and stopped trying to start. When I put the key in to try and start it, all I heard was one loud CLICK, no cranking at all. When my dad would try to start it and I stood over the engine, I heard a 1-second long quiet buzz(like a starter). When I sit in the car and try to start it with the remote start, I heard a LOUD 1-second long buzzing noise. with the key its a quiet buzzing, with the remote start its a LOUD buzzing. car push-starts fine, and after 2 push starts i remember I shouldnt be push starting in 1st....but ok. alright, so i go to advanced and buy a rebuilt starter. Installed it, and I got nothing now. Just a loud click. I havnt leaned into the engine to try and hear it, but from the inside I didnt hear a buzz at all, remote or key. car still push starts fine. what can I do to get my car running normally?
battery is charged, terminals are clean and normal
clutch start-switch is disabled
any help you guys can offer is greatly appreciated!

Yeah it's behind the radio. There are two back there, it's been so long I forget which is which but I'm pretty sure it's the one on the right.
