So my starter wont start! When you try to turn it over it clicks once and that's it. If I take a wire and put it straight to the battery then touch the terminal that comes from the key it clicks.... not turn. then if I take the wire strait from the battery and touch it to the bottom bolt it spins the starter but no doesn't turn the engine. Then! if I have somebody turn the key over and at the same time I take a wire from the battery and touch the bottom bolt it turns over and starts. What do I have here?

sounds like the solenoid might be bad,check battery charge.I've used Advance Auto Part starters,no problem.
