starting issues
starting issues Replaced the starter on my car because the old starter had a cracked solenoid housing. Now once in a while I get the 'click'. It's not the starter, more like it's not getting a signal to the starter to turn on.
What can be causing this? Battery and starter terminals are on tight, no corrosion. It's not VATS either, no flashing SECURITY light. Fuses? Worn key?

It's an Optima Red Top and I had it tested before I replaced the starter.

Testing for volts won't gague the strength of a battery. Good voltage indicates that the battery is charging, but if you charge up a weak battery, its still weak.
Cranking Amperage is what is needed to get the engine turning and the capacity of the battery will decrease over time. (Cold also decreases the Cranking Amperage, hence you'll want to compare batteries by their Cold Cranking Amperage designations.) Most auto parts stores have a rig now that they can test the battery on and check the CA capacity.
