Default No Crank, Won't Start
Need help with troubleshooting my car, won't crank, won't start. Main Relay is good, Main fuse is good, ground points good. Bad Starter maybe?

doesnt crank = starter imo
hardwire it to test <- maybe not while its installed.

Yes it is. I manually cranked the motor thinking that starter might have gotten stuck but it's still spinning. I will be replacing the starter.
