Hmm, starter problem??
Okay so here goes,
I recently installed a new motor in my 05 SS/SC and for a while it was just stalling out and stuff, it was a ground wire loose. Fixed it and the car runs like never before, I drove it for a few weeks and come out to start one day after school and nothing. No click, nothing. So I had some friends try to push start and it would fire up and die. After that tried starting and it started right up. Well, turns out there was loose wires on the starter. I didn't have time to tighten them up but they were just a little loose so it would start up with me occasionally having to get under there and move them a little. I finally got them all tightened up and the starter started making a grinding like sound when I'd try to start it. Just a little bit. It started happening more and more until it was nothing but that sound but it would still fire up. I went out of town (not in my car) for about 4 days, come back and no click, no nothing. I got in there and made sure the wires on the starter were tight, and still no click. Seemed like there was no power going to the starter at all. Had to push start it to get it to go. Hoping like it would turn out like it did before and start after trying to push start it. I got it home and turned it off and tryed to start it... still nothing. It's driving me insane! I just replaced the battery right before this all started happening so I know it's good. I did a few tests, like I turned on all the lights and tried to start it and they did not dim at all. So my guess would be electrical problem but I'm not completely sure. Any help? Please!

i had a problem. i could hear it launching but not spinning.
you should remove it and test it with a batt.
put you starter on a car batterie on - and put a wire from your starter to the +. you have to touch the 13mm and 7 mm same time
