Re: Starting problem
is it possible that the alternator is bad? i mean its clicking but not kicking over so could the alternator be seized or something?

Re: Starting problem
You just completely focused your troubleshooting efforts.. I'm assuming that you touched power to the control terminal on the starter, so your problem most likely lies in whatever usually switches power to that terminal of the starter. Just slow down and think about what you're learning from what you're doing.
