Default Shadow wont start

HI ! 2 weeks ago,my 1994 shadow 2.2L did not want to start. I changed the starter and it was fine until today. Without any signs, the starter stop working and does not make any sound when starting. I changed the starter again (2 times). The first time when starting, it did make some weird sound (rapid solenoid clicking???) and then , nothing. I changed the starter solenoid (on the inner fender), but nothing happens. I do hear a light sound from the solenoid when starting.I have 12v on the big wire all the time, and 12v on the small wire when starting. I'm REALLY confuse by this problem, can anyone help me on this one???

Thanks a LOT

Default RE: Shadow wont start

You changed the starter solenoid on the fender huh??? The starter solenoid is on the starter, there is a relay on the fender though. I would be looking at cables and connections, sounds like you have some bad cables-those era Chryslers were kinda known to not have the best cables on them. Also check fuse links right next to the battery, had some trouble with those as well. If you have access to a test light, if not get one. Have some attempt to start while you check for power at the wire on the solenoid-not the big battery cable, the other one. Please post results
Also check the battery, i kinda assumed you know it's good but you never know.
