The giveaway is that it only clicks once, not a few times rapidly...unless the key is not being turned all the way, but then it is more like a "buzz".

I had the two sensors on top reversed, I corrected the post.

Speedklix,
I got the once click, but what leads me to believe that the starter might be bad was the way it sounded, like a battery dying, but I have full power. Would the ignition switch cause that? The worst thing is it sounded like it was having a ton of trouble actually turning the crank. Is there a way to tell if the engine is seized without trying to start it. Either way when my wife gets back with our other car I am going to take the starter to have it tested. If it tests all right, I am going to look in to the ingnition switch.
