Sr20 won't start

[Mintbagel]

So went out this morning and car would not turn over, tried until battery died, came home this afternoon from work and when I tried with a battery from a different car it would give me one audible click and then everything would shut off, radio, interior lights, everything. Tried this multiple times with same result. So put my battery on a trickle charger and waited, during this time did a full visual inspection of the car and could not find anything wrong with it. When i tried with my charged battery same result. I am going to take off the starter tomorrow when I have daylight and will check for corrosion, but it is a new mishimoto own spec starter so I doubt it's gone bad. Thank you in advance!

verify battery is charged, starter has good power from battery, and that there is good signal from ign. switch. check fuses and grounds, just to start.

New starters can be junk still, we see it all the time with re manned units (alternators as well). take it out and have it tested.

Well new as in about a year old, been thoroughly tested

I understand it worked. Have you had it tested since it stopped starting? That's all I was asking.

So I am insanely embarrassed by tho but apparently my negative battery terminal just was not secured all the way... I feel like an idiot
