Maybe the new battery or new starter is defective. Maybe the new battery is the wrong part number. Have your battery load tested to see if it is good. It could also be a defective alternator. A new battery can lose its charge very quickly if it does not get recharged after starting the engine.

Testimonial: "it is the same battery what was on it in the first place and i have fully recharged it aswell and how would i know if the starter motor is defective or the auternater"

Hook a volt meter up to your battery you should see around 12.5 volts. Then crank the engine and see what the voltage drops to. If it drops to less than 12 volts the battery is bad.

2004 scion xa not starting hear clicking noise. is it possible the battery or cold it be the alternator or starter?

The clicking will be the starter solenoid not getting enough juice. Check the battery charge, especially the connections, which may need to be cleaned. Use Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda) in a little water to clean the connections, which will sizzle a bit. Wipe dry and clean.

Kioti Rcp 6010 won't start, turn key on and hear a click. When glow plug light goes out and try to start only get another click. Engine never turns over

Take the starter off and go through it again, with a no crank condition its pretty simple in that there is only a few components that are going to prevent cranking over, starter and starter solenoid, battery, and ignition switch. If its clicking thats most likely the starter solenoid clicking but the starter motor isn't spinning. Bench testing a starter only tells you that it will spin without any load on it, but on the engine it might not have enough power to spin. Check all cables, clean all connections, check voltage at the starter terminals and compare to the battery voltage, if there is a big difference you have a bad connection somewhere causing voltage drop.

If all else fails get a new starter since its a new battery and go from there. Having it out on the bench without a load might have got it unstuck and working again, still sounds like a failing starter. Try giving the starter a few taps with a hammer on the side and try starting again to see if its stuck.

1997 chrysler sebring jxi no start

Do head lights stay on (bright) while trying to crank starter? If not, starter motor isn't getting enough current, OR engine is locked. Is there current getting through the solenoid to starter motor? Check the ground connection between the engine and chassis as well as battery and chassis.

88 rx7 run but wont start

The FC3S is notorious for this and fueling issues. Check all ground points, battery cables and connections. Check the draw from the starter. If the voltage drops below 10V there is not enough power for the ignition, causing weak spark. It really needs to spin over 200rpm cranking. Pop starting does not necessarily mean the compression is good. You need to make sure it cranks fast enough to get a proper compression test with rotary tester, New NGK plugs, new NGK plug wires.

My car won't turn over. i have a new battery on it ( DOUBLE CHECKED ITS FINE) It seems as tho the starter motor is'nt getting enough power to it. It just sounds as though its struggles to turn...

Sometimes the starter motor bushes can be worn out and so will work with a high level of friction which will not power the engine to turn over. Also if the brushes or the commutator in the motor is bad it will be hard to turn.
The starter solenoid also is a suspect as if this is worn out it will be delivering lower current to the motor which will not be sufficient to turn the engine .
So please remove the starter motor and overhaul.. check the starter pinion and flywheel.

Check your battery if it is ok, check all ground connections. If they are corroded, you will not get enough current to spin starter. Check motor to body ground strap, battery to motor connection and battery to body connection. Remove the bolt that is holding the connections on because it can look allright and still be corroded underneath.
