my car stopped turning on so i tapped the starter while someone turned the key and it turned on which i knew i had to replace my starter. next day i replace my starter and it doesn’t want to seem to turn on, so i replaced my battery with a brand new one. still does not want to turn on. does anyone have a clue what this could be if so it’ll help thank you.

Maybe ignition switch?

 

i turn the key all the way and it gives me a slight click but not as loud as it used to be. the battery is giving power to everything else but the starter for some reason

 

Take the battery cables off, clean them and the cable and reconnect. If that doesn't work, you might not have the starter wires back in the right place or they're loose. It sounds like a bad ground connection to me. Check the battery cables for corrosion while you have them off. Look for a green color of crusty crap on them.

 

Trip the relay? Does it crank?

 

I checked all the bolts including the ones for the battery and made sure they were tight and none of the wires are corroded. there is a little click but i’m not sure if that’s anything. let me know if i did something wrong or if anyone could figure out what this could be

 

How do i trip the relay?

 

You want to jumper 30 to 87. That will put 12 volts on the starter. If the key is on it should crank.

 

so i open the hood and then take the fuse box cover off. after im not sure what to do i’m kind of confused? can you maybe explain it a little bit more detailed i’m new to cars and need some knowledge

 

Swap it with another and see if it cranks. If so, the relay is bad.
