Exclamation s13 ka24de starter clicks but no start

so i just figured out all the wiring and nonsense for my s13 and a couple days ago i went to start it, it cranked but the battery was dead so it didnt start. i left it on the battery charger overnight and i went to start it with the battery fully charged and the starter just clicks. i think its the cca's in the battery but i was wondering if theres anything else that could have possibly happened (relay, fuse, etc..) my battery is in the trunk and i know it is a reliable swap i put in also i bought a new starter for it.

new starter? the battery is most likely dead.
The click you hear is it from the solenoid from the starter?
Most likely dead batt.

i bought a brand new starter and brand new battery today, hooked everything up and its just like a fast click from the solenoid. tried another good starter also got the same results. the car i didnt know was hacked out the ass with the wiring harness. im thinking its a ground or something it wired wrong

its not a slow click like a dead battery its more like a fast click. the starter engages but doesnt spin when we bench tested it and this is a brand new starter also tried another ka starter and same results.

well not bench tested but kept the wires hooked up and jumped the solenoid with a power probe and also hooked up the solenoid wire and tried it that way but it engaged and didnt spin both times.

If you don't have one nows a good time to buy a multi meter. check the power wire to, if its pinched or bent. it could have broken strands inside.
