Thank you for your help. Very much appreciated!

**UPDATE** I finally got the car jacked up and I noticed a loose wire hanging from the starter area. My friend reconnected it and the car starts fine now. Go figure...

Also, I have rhino ramps, but my car doesn't start so I think it would be difficult to push the car up the rhino ramps.

I'm not sure. I'll measure when I get a chance this weekend.

I have a 2002 LSE SPORT...maybe that's why a "normal" jack won't fit. Is the sport version lower?

The link didn't show anything...it just took me to amazon.

I think it's a regular jack, but it barely fits under the front of the car and I couldn't get it to the correct spot. Do you put the jack under the front of the car or behind the front tires?

Do I need a low profile jack? The jack I have barely fits under, but it hits a bunch of stuff when I'm trying to get it to the correct spot...

Perfect! Thanks.

Can I get some input as to where the best spot is to jack up the car and place the jack stands? Thanks.

I checked all fuses under hood and in trunk and they all looked good. I also switched the starter relay #15 with a couple of other relays and no difference. I also checked battery voltage and it's now at 12.30 I'll be checking starter voltage as soon as I can get some help.

Not sure if it was fully charged. I just assumed new batteries were, so that's why I reported my multi meter readings to you. I'll try my best to get the starter voltage.

Should the battery be discharged overnight?

Tested the battery posts with multi meter and the reading on the new battery is 12.16. Is this normal for a brand new battery?

Do I have to remove the passenger tire and shield to test the starter?
