New Starter and still won't crank!!!

OK - me again ... Got the motor jacked up and the new start installed, but now the new one won't work either! It's still doing the same thing (just giving a click when you turn the key!)

The battery is fine as well as the alternator. This is just driving me NUTS!!! :runaround:

All the contacts appear to be good. Could the bendix be bad on the reman or is there something that would actually take an act of Congress I don't know about?

UPDATE - My bad ... I jumped the gun I guess. While waiting for a reply, I took the tire back off and got back under there. Even though it felt tight, I guess I didn't have the little push plug in all the way. I giggled it and pushed again and now she fires up like a champ! Now I just need to change out my S-belt then I can take a shower and get all girlyfied again!

I've always been an old school mechanic and sometimes these newer vehicles (especially foreign ones) tend to make me want to :banghead:! Thanks again guys for your help!

To confirm that the battery is actually 'fine', try jumping from a 2nd battery just to be sure that your problem isn't low amps. Just a thought. :)

Had problems with my new one. Didnt know the new ones didnt come with alignment dowels. Tooks some fudging with it to get lined up right so it wasnt binding.
