The other day I drove to the store and everything was fine. When I tried to start the car to leave there was nothing. The lights in the dash came on and the fuel pump started making noise but there was no attempt to crank and no click. After getting it towed home I got under and saw the tab for the ignition switch signal had broken off from the solenoid. This seemed like an open and shut case. I bought a new solenoid and installed it. When I went to start there was nothing again.
I have tested my connections several times. I have >12v to the constant power terminal. I have >12v to the ignition tab when the key is turned by an assistant. When I jumper the 12v constant to the ignition tab with a screwdriver the starter works but nothing when I turn the key.
The plunger is hooked through the lever correctly and the spring is installed correctly also. I don't know why this would matter but just adding it for reference.
What am I missing?
