Make sure fuses are making contact with the fuse clips. Also, if the starter is
easy to pull out you could check it by putting a set of jumper cables to it and
see if it spins. I have had a lot of starters burn out. In fact, if it can
happen it seems to have happened to me. Are the batts putting out juice.
Just some random thoughts.
