Need Input!! Get in the car to go to work and nothing happend. Turn the key like to start it and nothing turns over, no sounds from anything. All lights are on like normal. Went ahead and replaced the battery. Going to check the fuses out also. What happends when a starter goes out? Are these the symptoms? Also has a code come up Terminal L? What exactly is that? Any help appreciated!!
Thanks
Jason

I have checked all the fuses. Im a Elec Eng Tech so measuring voltages wont be a problem. Just dont know what they should be at what points. Obviously 12volts at the battery back to the starter. When the key is on what points should be juiced and which ones not?
Thanks
Thanks

When you try to start it I have power on the small wire going to the starter. Will try in Neutral. I bought a new starter from the dealership and broke one terminal off so looks like I might have to buy another one at 350 bucks and who knows it might not even fix the problem!

Whats weird is I had the old starter tested and it was fine??? 
But I figured it had 100K miles on it. Probably original so what the heck. The Alternator is only a year old. Took a chance and it worked.
