the key switch (ignition switch) only sends a small amount of power to the solenoid and the solenoid makes the connection from the battery cable to the starter because the small wires coming from your ignition switch can not carry enough power to run your starter your problem is probably your solenoid or you have corroded battery cables if so clean them the ground or positive cable could also be loose at either end



I'm assuming you have already made sure your battery has a full charge88 toyota 4 wheel drive removing the ignition key switch? and how?
How do you KNOW the %26quot;new %26quot; starter is good? Key sounds OK! Charge your battery, clean your battery terminals AND posts with a wire brush. make sure all the BIG connections are clean and firm-tight enough, not overdone. repeat on the starter motor. Make sure the Earth cable goes to the chassis AND the motor and that these points are clean and firm. If battery %26gt;3yrs old, or left unused too long, may be shot. when you replace it, use Cadmium Sulphite solution in the new one to retard sulphation and failure. It works!!! If all else fails, short out the 2 big bolts to each other only on the stater solenoid with the forks of an old spanner, and it should spark %26amp; spin fast. If not, it's battery or starter. Starters are easy to recondition, as are alternators. The usual parts (bearings %26amp; brushes) are very cheap.
