Ok so the wifes lx was having issues. Wife said it would take her a few tries turning the key to get started, wouldnt crank, she would turn the key, dash lights come on but no cranking or anything. I did a little research and decided the most likely culprit was the starter contacts. Not knowing the history I decided to just replace the whole starter. Did that over the past two evenings. Got it all buttoned up and it fired right up, could definitely hear a difference in starter speed (one that came out looked oem 190k miles). I decided to drive the lx to work just in case, really cold this morning, fired right up no problems. Go out to lx for lunch and no start, nothing...same as she described, power is working to everything, but no crank and all, no clicking either of the starter solenoid.
These are the things I checked already.
Battery is good, only 2 weeks old, tests good with multimeter
Ground is good as far as my test, I put one lead on the positive battery terminal and the other on a frame bolt, got 12+ volts
both ignition relays test good, both with and without power
starter relay tests good both with and without power.
Im lost at this point and its frustrating, somehow the starter doesnt seem to be getting any voltage.
