The starter on my Monte was turning hard, so i forced it to start one last time to drive into my garage and after that it just clicked. Went to a junkyard and got a new starter out of a newer Grand Prix and bolted it up. Now the starter still clicks and the fuel pump, radio, door dinger, and a couple other things don't work. (can't hear the fuel pump kick in, radio is aftermarket deck and doesn't need a code, and the the door dinger...well you can't miss that.)

the headlights come on tho, along with the idiot gauges. Map lights don't work either.

I hate electrical, but can't afford to pay someone to figure it out...so here i am.

So the used starter did not correct the original issue correct, what about the other problems, when did they happen? Makes sure the battery cables and grounds are good and the battery has sufficient charge. Post back results.

No, the used starter didn't fix the origional problem and the other problems started after i put the new starter in

back to basics make sure your battery is good and fully charged then check alternator

Check your main power at fuse box, (larger fuses and relays) maybe a short has killed
your power.

It sounds like one of three things to me.

1. You've got a bad ignition switch.
2. Your positive battery cable is bad/dirty/loose/corroded (it has one branch that goes directly to the starter, and one that goes to the underhood relay center that distributes power to the accessories.
3. You blew a fuseable link/main fuse in the underhood relay center when you were messing with it or it blew due to an excessive draw caused by the original issue.
