no it's not even spinning. i got the starter checked and they had problems with it the first 3 times testing it and then got it too break free, and it tested fine another two times. i can hear all the relays clicking, and i can see the clutch safety switching engaging. i did a continuity test on all the fuses and relays and everything checked out minus the cooling fan fuse which was blown so i replaced it. now i a have a maintance required light on . but i'm confused as too when i straight wired the starter it still didn't engage. so i'm going to try grounding the starter a different way, bypass the clutch switch, and wire in a manual ignition switch.
