Help Please with stater problem?

[4ballin]

I recently performed the starter contact job and it was fine for about 4 days and then this past saturday it quit working at the gas station and hasnt worked since. Today i bought a reman hoping to just get it over with. Guess what new starter isnt working either. I even had the gut at az test the new starte before i purchased it. I have full power no bad fuses nothing not correct that i know of. Why no crank? When turning key i can here the plunger engage but no starter crank. And to top it off i took selenoid cover off of new starter and it had both contacts new and new plunger which through research i have found is rare. Thanx for your help.

Assuming your battery cables are good and your battery is fully charged if you are hearing the solenoid pull in but not cranking either you have a loose connection at the starter, ie the cable or the contacts, or you have a bad ground to the engine. Really need to see Voltage readings at the battery and starter.

The main batt cable on starter not a prob to get voltage from but that other smaller power lead is a problem. Also am i supposed to see 12v at the smaller lead? I just dont ge it how a starter works at point a and between there and point b it doesnt work.

OK, I'm having a little trouble understanding you. What is point A and point B?

Can you check voltage at the battery while someone tries to crank, then do the same thing at the starter. Don't worry about the smaller lead if the solenoid is clicking, that wire is fine.
