Sounds more like a bad starter .do you have a test light to do some testing? Also, did you make sure the battery cables are clean and tight?

Your welcomed the small purple wire to the starter should have power with the key in the start position.Sometimes you can hold the key in the start position and lightly tap on the starter and sometimes the starter will start to work.That way you know you have a bad starter.
