98 Subaru Forester FOR FREE!!!!!

[JLHollowX13]

so my parents got a free forester, lucky them. anyway, my dad needs my help fixing it, it just stopped running one day with the previous owner and she bought a new car so she gave this one to my mom. anyway, my dad figured it was the starter so he took it in and it was shot. he got a new starter and now there are other problems so i thought id ask everyone on here.

so he said before he took the starter out there were 2 wires on it. one was hot and the other wasnt. after he installed the new starter the hot wire is no longer hot. anyone have any input on what it could be? he had the jumper cables hooked up right and everything was the same as before.

thanks for any help!
