My car is having an intermitten issue with starting, sometimes I can start it up and sometimes it wont even crank. When I start the car the radio and lights come on but when I turn the key nothing happens. I took it to Carx where they explained to me it was the starter and I had it replaced but I am having the same problem. When it DOES start it cranks right up but if it doesnt start when I turn the key nothing happens, but the radio and lights come on. What could be wrong?

Here is what I need you to do. When this happens, have a helper turn the key to the start position while you check for power to the smaller wire on the starter. You should have 12+ volts.

Let me know what you find.
