Dynomite:

The battery I had kept going dead , so I had to jump the car with my charger to get it to start in order to get it to the shop, which it did, They tested my battery and said it was no good ,so they put a brand new battery in it,and it was after they did that it would no longer start(turn over) They said they then tried a different brand new batttery and I believe even with a jump as well, and still nothing. The 11.5 volt the mechanic was talking about was, I'm pretty sure, on the purple wire to the solenoid, not accross the battery terminals. They haven't been able to check anything with regard to the alternator, becasue it hasnt started at all since the battery change

Scott:

I tried it several times and I do not think I heard a click, and I did , as was suggested in one of the "dreaded no start " threads , try to push the clutch down hard to make sure that the clutch switch was engaging. How can the cltch switch be checked other than by changing it, and the relay also? Is ther e a way to check if it;s the relay withut actually replacing the relay,or should i just have them replace it tosee if that fixes it?

My main confusion is that it always turnedover every time I turned the key.(.other than when the battery was dead, but then it did work once I had charged it or if I jumped it off of my truck),and anly stoppedworking afterthey put the new battery in it..Could chaniging the barrtery have caused this problem, , or aggravated an existing prob lem that hadn't been a problem before?? My feelingis it was working fine when I took it there,except for having a dead battery,and I think they should be givingit back to e still working as it did before, not needing $1000 worth of work to replace the starter .

.any thoughts?
Also if it comes down to it needing a starter,cananew one be purchased,and if so , from where? Mechanic says he doesn;t wantto put a rebuilt in due to the amount of labor involved in putting it in, and in replacingit again if it fails, even if the part is warranted.

Thanks again guys
