Everything started a couple of days ago where the car would start fine but the starter would grind before I could back off the key. Then all of a sudden it doesn't start at all. I checked the batery and needed replacement. Also changed the terminals and cleaned any corrosion. The problem persisted, sometimes I would move the battery cables a bit and it would start (the starter would grind too). It's been a few days and the car will not start. All of the lights turn on (check engine, lights, oil) but no start. I could be the starter, but I don't want to replace the whole thing if is not the right part. Could it be the starter contacts?
