please help!!

I recently bought a 1995 toyota celica st 6th generation. i installed a kill switch to the car by cutting a wire in the ignition and inserting a switch in the center council. i drove home the other day and the switch blew (faulty switch) so then i replaced that and was fine again. today however drove home put the emergency brake on and it shut the car down. before the wire i tapped into would crank the car over but not enough to start the car.. now however i know its not the switch because i tested that.. however there is now no crank power what so ever but the battery is still running the stereo lights and power inside.. could this be the starter relay... starter? or sylonoid?

thanks Rachel..
PLEASE HELP

Well, it takes alot of power to turn the starter and crank the engine over. A weak battery can still power the things you mentioned but still not turn the starter.
If you're certain it's not your kill switch, test the battery. And/or have the starter tested for free at O'Reillys, PepBoys,Advance,etc.
