99 grand prix se No start Sign In

had a car roll of the hook today with no start, no crank issue.

heres what we did to no avail.......
replaced the starter (2x both rebuilt from part warehouse)
replaced battery ( tested bad)
inspected all electrical connections (all connections are good)

the problem is still here. I will get a solnoid click, the bendex engages(but stays out after key release), it seem as if theres not enough amps to crank. So we took the 300amp boost box and jumped the starter and it cranks, started and ran. We then tried with the key again after and nothing but a click.

any input would be great
Thanks

A few thoughts and may-bees with this situation where it works with a "boost box" but not on it's own.

* Charge new battery with a charger not counting on the car.

* New battery may be bad - shock but it happens.

* GM side posts are famous for lousy corrosion unseen without a careful look.

Seems like you just don't get the amps delivered to the starter and probably connections at the battery are a trouble spot,

ya i was thinking the battery i will have to send it back in the morning and see. thinking it might be a bad cell. and as far as connections go i know all about GM ground gremlens....all connnections were R&r, and cleaned.
i been a wrench for a few years and have never seen an issue like this. Im thinking i might just get a starter from a different warehouse also just for Sh!ts and giggles
