The next thing you need to do is a "VOLTAGE DROP TEST"
If you don't know how to do it go to "YOUTUBE" and study up on how to do it.

The starter may or may not be the issue.... a "voltage drop test will tell you if it is or is not the issue.
No sense pulling the starter just to find out it is not the problem.
With a "Voltage drop test you can test the entire starting circuit as well as the starter with everything in place.

All you need to do the test is a Digital Voltage Meter and the know how.

Many times removing and or replacing good parts or connections creates more problems then it solves.
Try to isolate and identify the problem before attempting to fix it.
