Howdy guys. I've searched through most all of the starter threads and worked with the info from them to no avail. Frustrated yet determined.
Starter solenoid appeared to not engage. Had it shop tested and confirmed solenoid not engaging. Installed new starter. Same response. Spinning but no engagement. Figured perhaps battery voltage to low so checked battery and was week. Recharged battery now acting like it wants to engage but not fully engaging just slight grinding noise. Pulled starter and checked flywheel. Turned it by hand and inspected. Teeth are good with only two very minor chips but no missing teeth or anything out of the ordinary. Starter back on. Checked the relay and its clicking at key turn and start. Pulled relay and jumped it with same starter response. Inspected grounds, battery cables etc. no message on the dash concerning lock out etc. Not sure where to turn next? Would weak remote key have any impact?
