HELP Starter just clicks?? motor will not turn over (video inside)

[95eclipser]

Hey Guys, My build is now complete!! but I have hit a bump trying to get it to start and cannot figure it out. I need help diagnosing why my car will not turn over. The starter just "CLICKS"

At first i thought the starter was bad so I replaced it. But I soon realized that the new unit is doing the same thing as the old starter did. I have a made a quick video of what the car is doing. I am manually connecting power to the starter with the yellow wire

thanks ahead of time,

Drew

I found this VVVV

You’ll need to put on your 2nd gen starter bracket, but before you do this you’ll have to modify it. The bolt hole on the bottom will not line-up and you’ll have to grind a hole up and towards the front of the engine. Also the transfercase (AWD) will need more room to fit on. You’ll need to trim where that bottom bolt was, trim it almost back to the original hole and you’ll need to pull the metal out that’s above and to the back of the engine. You’ll see this all when you try to put on the transfercase and it won’t fit on. No worries though, it’s not that hard to grind and fit it when it is on the car.

I have a 2g starter plate. Could the starter be making contact with the plate? or hitting the flywheel?

What happens if you try and do that but with the starter out of the car?

Are you sure everything's wired up properly and that all necessary plugs are connected?

Is that the original starter to the car or a replacement.

I just replaced it with a new one. I compaired the two when I was doing the swap they are identical. And they are both doing the exact same thing. So hitting it with a hammer does not sound like a fix to me in this case.

I have everything hooked up that I can think of.

Motor grounded
Trans grounded
Engine fuse is good.
Brand new Odessey battery ( grounded to the Frame in the trunk)

Am I missing anything?

Could my stater relay stop me from turning the car over, even tho I am manually jumping it?

I have a 6bolt swap
2g tranny
2g starter plate
2g stater
Map 6bolt flywheel
