HELP! Boxster won't turn after starter cleaning!

[Tpierce129]

Ok, I replaced the ignition switch. No luck there. Any other suggestions before I just order a whole new starter??

Are you absolutely sure you reconnected everything correctly? Before I’d replace the starter, I’d recheck consider re-checking everything, and/or pulling the starter back out and testing it outside the car…………..

How do I test the starter?

Using a suitable sized jumper, supply 12V battery power to the main terminal, then 12V to the + solenoid terminal. You can also just take it to any AutoZone or the like, and they will test them for free............
