So i turn the key with no crank. I hear a single click that sounds like the relay. I'm getting constant 12v on the power wire to the starter, but not getting 12v at the solenoid when the key hits start. Checked the 30 amp and 50 amp ign. fuses with a meter. I swapped the relay with the blower motor relay (same pins and part numbers on them). Still no 12v at the starter solenoid... So I started to point at the ignition switch on the steering column, except the remote start has the same effect..

What does it sound like here??

 

are the interior lights bright or dim? it sounds like the solenoid is trying to engage, hence the click.

you can still get 12V and have a bad battery. since you have a meter, have someone sit in the car, you place the meter on the battery and have the helper try to start.. if the voltage drops sharply to less then 10.5 ish.., then the battery needs either a charge or to be replaced.

 

Battery is only 2 days old with 12.5v acrossed it... It just seems weird that the starter solenoid didn't see any voltage, not even a weak 5-10v I would expect to see from a weak battery

 

Also I should throw in that I switched to a 850 cca battery from a 700. I've had it started about a dozen times in the last couple days

 

well then...

I left my manual at work. The only other thing I can think of off the top of my head is a possible fuseable link, or neutral or reverse safety swtich. I dont have my wiring diagrams with me to check the system out.

 

Well I just remembered I unplugged the nss when I was dinking around with the tv cable and vacuum lines

Thanks for looking guys!

Seems like most of my issues always end up being operator error
