Windows, lights, radio work, but no sound or cranking when starting. We just replaced the starter on our 1996 LX450 and it won't start. It's not doing anything. There is no cranking, nothing. There IS power to the radio, lights, and windows. Battery's and everything leading to the starter has been gone over more than once and nothing seems out of place.

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 12v. Let me know what you find. Could be a defective starter.
