Well in past starter issues, my experience has been when a starter is going out or gone generally it will still try to turn over or give u a click or something (I could be wrong this time, hopefully I am). Im getting no noise at all like it would be if the battery were dead, but the battery is good, everything else is functioning properly

no, you need to have the wiring checked to the starter and look for power to the little wire for the solenoid. it sounds like you have a bad starter motor
