starting problem

first of all..was the battery tested properly? a battery can be fully charged at 12 to 14 volts but with a bad cell, it can only have 75 cold cranking amps.. which is not enough umph to turn the starter and consequently the flywheel.
CCA is what starts your car not volts.

another thing you can do is hook up a test light at the signal wire at the starter (thats the small wire) and have an ASS.........sistant hit the switch. it should light up.
