[QUOTE="mcglsr2, post: 1351811, member: 15705"] Alright, if you swapped in a known good battery and it still didn't start, and you replaced the battery cables (is the starter cable part of that?), then I'd guess it's the starter as well. One way to test it is to hit the starter with a big mallet or hammer while trying to start the car to see if it cranks ;) Not the most safest procedure (so obviously be careful if you decide to do this) but that has worked in the past on failed starters.
