-i took the new starter out and hooked it up to my dads tester( i didnt know he had a machine to tast starters-just like the one at advance) and the starter was bad... good voltage going to it (the purple wire).....
-the engine isnot loked up ....
-im gonna take it back and hope they'll give me a newstarter (make them test it there too before taking it home).....
- ill report back when i install it....

 

i took the starter back... they tested the new one before they gave it to me....it was good
-but when i put it in and tryed to start my car it did the same thing??????WTF!!!!!!
-I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO??????
-were else could something be going wrong?

 

DID YOU test the new one, on your tester before it went in?
Then afterwards, after it wouldnt work ?

We need to know if it went in good and then got fried!

IF you didnt test it, we wont know.

.

 

yes, he tested the new one at the store in front of me before i took it home and then i double checked it when i got home before putting it in the car and IT WAS A GOOD STARTER...
they're getting fried somehow when there in the car!!!
thats what i was trying to say before... maybe i just worded it wrong..

i checked the thick wire that runs from the battery to the starter and it appeared good....
I also checked the other wire as far as i could that plugs into the starter its GOOD...
the smaller wire that comes off the starter.. were does it lead to?...
