What does it mean when Kia Forte won’t start?

Why does my Kia Sportage not start up?
We had an on again/off again problem with our 2009 Sportage and it was a communication problem between the chip in the key and the immobilizer/something or other in the ignition/steering column! Unless the icon of a car showed on the dash upon attempting to start, it would not start.
How can I bypass the starter relay on my Kia Forte?
Although testing the starter relay is a good thing to do, I actually was describing using a jumper wire to bypass that relay in the fuse box. On my first gen this can be done either by supplying power to fuse box relay connector pin #5 or #2 , but it might be a different configuration on the second gen.
Where can I get a new Kia Forte starter?
The place is Ace Armature in Pawtucket, RI and was highly recommended by a coworker. They’ve been around for over 50 years, so apparently they know what they are doing. It made no sense for me to try to DIY, since I couldn’t find a new starter for under $225.
What should I do if my Kia Forte won’t start?
In a situation like yours, when it doesn’t turn over on the first push, I’d immediately stop trying, pull the starter relay, and jump it to see if the starter spins. If the starter always spins following a few failed start attempts, that would tend to rule it out as the problem, and I’d continue the diagnosis from there.

How can you tell if your starter relay is bad?
The most obvious warning sign that a problem with the starter relay exists is when the vehicle won’t start when you engage the ignition process.
