Symptom
-Car will not crank, everything else works as far as radio and accessories.
-Totally random click from engine bay when attempting to crank
My efforts diagnose
-Battery is good
-Tried new starter and is good
-Starts when bump started
-Key on run, and run a 12v+ wire from the battery to the thin starter wire, will allow the car to start everytime
In my mind I feel like it has to be a problem between the ignition switch to the wire on the starter.. If so, will a bad ign switch do this? Sounds like a bad relay? Anything else in that lines to check?
Is a ground possibly an issue?
