I attached the wiring diagram and the instructions for you to connect the starter back up. Let me know if you have questions and we can dig deeper.

If you are still not sure, get a picture of the starter and wiring and I will tell you which go where. Thanks

Okay. Just to clarify, you replaced the starter for a no start condition but it still does the same thing?

If this is the case, can you tell me what exactly it is doing when you turn the key? Does the starter turn the engine over or it doesn't do anything? Maybe get a video of the issue and that will get us on the same page quickly.

Also, we need to make sure we have a good battery so I would take it into a parts store and have them load test it.

Here is a guide that explains what that is:

Let me know this info and we can go from there. Thanks
