When you say the battery has "good charge" what do you mean? How old is it and what are the DC readings from your multimeter?

 

battery was tested with a crank output of 600...so thats more than sufficient to get to turn the starter over...

 

It's even money your problem is electrical in nature. I usually try to rule out the lowest link in that chain. That's why I asked how old your battery is. You need at least 12.5 volts DC to operate.

Recheck your ground and positive cables before you take it to the dealer. Let us know what happened.

 

So what's the story on this repair? What did it turn out to be?

 

I'm having similar issues, if not, exactly the same. OP, did you find a solution?

 

Check the starter. Look and see if the pos & neg cables are on. Then check fuses.

 

Thanks, I'll check it out later today

 

I've checked the connections and the fuses as well, everything seems intact. I also changed out the battery but the it's still doing the same thing.

 

An update: It ended up being a bad starter. I bought an oriellys one and it makes a weird noise when I start it. Anyone else experience this with starters that aren't OEM?

 

so after replacing the starter, your car started fine? mine is having similar issues

 

Hey man I know I replied to your pm but thought I'd reply here also so other people would know.

Yea all had to do was replace my starter.

And I'd recommend getting the factory one. Unless you don't mind the ugly noise the aftermarket ones make when you start it. But i guess you can't beat lifetime warranty..
