Go to your fuse panel under the hood by the a/c accumulator and swap the relay for a different relay under there. On my 98, the starter relay was the same number and type as the electric fan relay. Yours might be different but just look. I had the car running and then plugged in the other relay and it turned on.

Yea, let us know how that goes. The next step would most likely be to test voltage
