Good readings from the battery and it's cables.

What kind of switch is this?
Are you saying you replaced the starter yet again?


Could be the ignition switch next if the rest check out.

Hey Thoi, fyi, I appreciate you responding and being so helpful. Thank you for that.


Yeah, I had to replace the start I bought from Ebay (Dbelectronics), Had it tested at advance auto, in which case failed. So I had bought a 2nd starter.


Once I replaced the clutch starter safety switch, it cranked and started for me so I said hey! Let me take a ride to autozone for some anti corrosion spray for my new battery terms. Also, had a checklight on for a hearter circuit.


Turned the car off at auto zone, went back in the car (After ordering some of my favorite italian food, nice little reward) No click, no crank AGAIN.....Spent my day off for 5 hours trying to get it started again. Used the multimeader at autozone to check for voltage battery, starter, and to test out the sensor I bought, all check out...


What else could it possibly be?


Just got it towed home literally 5 minutes ago.

Have you tried replacing the + battery cable? It might be corroded internally where you can't see it. It screwed me up a couple of years ago the same way.

I know you specifically asked so I wanted to give you that respect especially consider the help you and thoi provided.

Well, while I did spend alot of money, at least I have alot of brand new stuff aka starter, clutch switch, interlock switch, starter relay, new battery and cables and also new ignition switch!
