:Starter Issues:
I was out taking care of business (like any normal day!) and had shut the car down roughly three times, and after i went back to the car to start it for the fourth time, it wouldnt engage the starter, car had full dash lights and its a brand new battery I just bought that morning but, typical things would go out as it was in the start position, so I got uder the hood and took off my air intake. I found a loose wire, stripped it and re-attached it, but still nuthing, if I take and jump the solenoid from the battery, and if no engagement then the starter is bad? But if the starter kickes then it could either be the relay that was installed due to GOV'T recall, to keep the car from catching fire, maybe it could be the ignition, or my last resort is gonna be the neutral safety switch. how would I be able to test the theories and come up with a solution?
