Thank you, I wanted to go that way!. But when I did the electrical test with a light probe. I stick the probe into the feed wire that connects to the grey wire on the solenoid. As I turn the key to start I saw the probe LIGHT-UP. So it was my conclusion I am getting power. Do you think in regards to this evidence I still need to change it.

 

Thank you, I heard that a lot. Problem the original is testing GOOD, and the new ONE is testing GOOD. I replace one of the new one already. So Pep-boys I think when you buy their starter you can't return back.

 

Amen on that!

Since you tested the positive routes, I'm wondering if it's on the negative side that there's a gap/disconnect somehow? And the starter is BOLTED to the engine. Maybe back to the ignition side. Ground breakdown in the column?

 

An iffy connection can pass enough amps to light a test bulb. Yet not enough to activate the device the wire is supposed to power.

You might want to attach a test wire to the positive terminal of the battery. Then touch that wire to the solenoid contact on the starter.

The starter might crank as it should. That would indicate that the battery and starter are healthy. Also that the problem is most likely the ignition switch
