What is your question?
I have been having an issue with my car for the past two weeks about and what first happened was the first time i had the issue i had used it that day from my house to the gym, the gym to my house and then to my house to my job. That night when i got off work it would not crank or turnover to even act like it was trying to start. I tried to jump it did not work. the next day we called Triple A and the guy tried to jump it wouldn't work he i guess tapped on my starter and it then started right up because he told me that my starter was going bad. I went to AutoZone and had them do a diagnostic test they told me i had a bad battery and that nothing showed for it being my starter. I went then to my job to get a battery and replaced that. My car drove for a week from the time i had replaced the battery to it not wanting to start again. I then just today got a new starter put in, but it still will not start. It makes a click noise and all my lights, windows, radio, and locks work. Please let me know what you think it might be.

Sounds like a bad connection to me; Did you disconnect the battery then hook it back up after installation. Recheck the battery connections, make sure the wires on the starter are connected good. Could be the solenoid is connected properly, that is probably the clicking noise you hear. Should have changed the starter when wrecker driver suggested it, the starter came back to haunt you. Last the replacement starter could be faulty.
If your neutral safety switch is failing, you wouldn't get the audible "click" from the starter solenoid engaging when you turn the key to the crank position. Agree with Prof, good chance you got a bad reman starter or else the cable connections are suspect. The thing is a technician with a voltmeter can do regular voltage drop testing and prove what is going on without anyone changing any more parts.
Thank you for your feedback is there a way to get a free diagram of all the connections for the cables ?
The person who put in my starter did remove the positive cable before doing any work on the starter checked and tightened all cables for the battery and also checked my fuses and relay and everything seems to be in working order but for the fact that it will not start. I know right the starter definitely did that lol. Well see my old starter i would get the clicking noise but no turn over as well so thats why i thought it was the battery. but changing the battery obviously is not that. If you have any other ideas please let me know. I was just doing some research could it be my neutral safety switch? just curious especially since when i turn the key it makes a clicking noise. Please let me know what you think.
