car is driving fine like usual i park it at home and later in the day i go to leave and nothing.i turn the key all the way and nothing the dash is all lite up like normal but the starter doesnt turn.and its a new starter.i call my buddy who does most to all the work on my car he comes and we pop-started the car by throwing it in gear while pushing.i drive it to his house to work on it.he says its a wiring problem with the starter so he takes 10 gauge wire and splices it into the wiring harness near the right headlight says it goes to the starter takes the other end of it and spliced to the ignition and the car fires up fine so am like ok you just ghetto-rigged my car but its working for now so it fine for now.the car drives fine for the rest of the day.the next day i go to turn it on and nothing?? i checked the wires everything is secured but nothing turns on now???not my radio or boost controller or my gauges only my dash like without the little icons and headlights and map lights work..and the stupid blinking security light..i need help guys any ideas or thought of what it might be will be greatly appreciated

main relay would be a suspect, it's located behind the drivers inner fender liner

also have a look at the clutch saftey swithc and the clutch saftey relay, also the ignition switch
