So I thought I had a bad starter but it seems it is something else. Put a new one in and it ran for the night and then wouldn't start. Took it back out and to AutoZone, and they tested it and it's fine. Put new starter relay in, still nothing.
New battery, new alternator, everything is charged and gets full power. I'm lost. |

With a multi-meter, check for continuity and resistance. If where the grounds go to the body are rusty clean them off, any connectors for wiring if they're corroded clean them off. Now when it's not starting is the starter still spinning or is it nothing at all? If nothing at all could be ignition switch, if it still spins over could be the ignition coil. One of those things where you just have to go through and diagnose everything until you find the culprit.
