Heads up on bad positive battery cable

 Just wanting to warn others the repop + battery cables that have the wires crimped to the clamp for the battery post could/can be loose! After the 4th round of remove/check/reinstall starters and relays over the last few months today I isolated the issue to that point. (You will get enough current for everything to click and pop just as if the starter has failed.) This positive cable is widely sold everywhere with the crimp type clamp for the + post. (Unlike the molded in place cables.) You'll see a dent between the large and small wires.
After seeing the wire slide in and out while pulling on it the car instantly cranked the starter when I jumped the solenoid. Keep this in mind if you have any type of electrical issues!
