like the title, Beauty being a PIA.

before everybody put in "their" 2 cents worth,
here's the break down,

starter is FINE! ( can jump start the motor with wires, to relay and stater)
has hot start relay put in, works FINE
Battery is FINE, brand new

I do get power to the starter thru the relay board, just FINE.

problem?
turn key,
a very loud click, at starter.
no rolling of the starter
that's it.

where else should I look? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
