installed a new starter yesterday - thinking that was the issue. New starter when in PERFECTLY, and it drove/started 7-10 times like it was a brand new car. Went to start it again - same symptoms as before with the old starter.

this AM got a brand new battery, put it in - nothing. this is a video of what happens when I try to start it:



Before i blow ALL my money (spoiler - already did) trying to figure out what the hell is going on - do you guys have any ideas based on the sounds it makes n start up?! this is driving my crazy! any help would be amazing. thank you.

 

If you have a LR dealership or auto repair shop, maybe take the video and show someone.

 

You've got a voltage drop someplace. Probably the main cable that goes to the starter or battery terminals. Sonething loose or corroded. Clean your grounds. Make sure connections are tight. That's not a bad starter. That's not enough voltage. That's the solenoid clicking starving for power.

 

Sounds me like that too. The voltage is dropping such that the starter gear isn't fully engaged. That sounds bad! But I don't think it is. Check the main power cable to the starter and the solenoid.
