I was having trouble with starting on cold mornings. Thought it might be a battery issue. I replaced the battery and was still taking a while to turn over. I drove it aproximately 5 miles the other night, and when I got back in and turned the key, all I recieved was two very faint clicks. It seems that I am not getting power to the starter. I pulled the battery and had it checked and recharged to full, but to no avail. Still just clicks when I turn the key. I swapped out the clutch inhibitor relay with another relay that I could verify was working. No help. Any ideas before I break some knuckles trying to get the starter out? (I will have to pull the starter out to get it checked since I cannot currently get the car started) Thanks in advance.

Do yourself a favor have a helper hold key in start position and bang some knuckles on the starter-if it kicks over-replace starter-if not check for power at black and yellow wire at the solenoid. Power there-replace starter. No power-Jumper clutch switch at pedal-if it cranks over -replace switch. No crank-check fuse #16 10amp at fuse block-okay-Replace ignition switch.
