Exclamation 1997 ES300 Won't START! Video included!

Hi everyone,

I've got a 1997 Lexus ES300 that won't start. I think the battery is fine and I think the connections are fine. I pulled the starter out and had it tested, and it works fine.

See the video for references as to what happens when I try to start the car, also pay attention to the sound.


Thanks

Taylor

I haven't watch your video.
Have you tried boosting your battery? How do you know your battery is still good? Terminal connections are good?

Yes terminals are all good. Starter doesn't even try like some sort electrical thing. I've tried boosting my battery. I've "jumped" my battery with my other car and tried to start, still nothing.

UPDATE: I have now checked the starter relay too. Bought a brand new one and installed it, still nothing.
