does the cranking itself sound slow or does it simply crank normally for longer than normal?

Just a hint, there's a ton of posts on this if you search about it - with all the possible remedies.

It was cranking slow now its not turning at all (well i can here a tink sound coming from the starte).
I can get the cables and touch the battery and it will turn, its like its not enough power coming from the car to turn the starter.

bad connection / corrosion / test your battery from where you bought it.

Maybe the reman starter is bad - I had to return 2 remans before I finally bought the brand new one that works perfectly. The remans installed did the same thing, they would either just click or not click at all until finally one of them burn up in smoke. Some of the remans may have worn out solenoid assemblies, from previous users.
