starting problem!
 
car has been eating starters, just replaced my starter with a bosch it was working fine then all the sudden i turned the key and nothing happend. then as i was turning the key back towards the off position i heard the starter engage for a moment. i tried starting it again and on the way back it did it again, so this time on the way back i held it there very briefly and it cranked over and started. I did this for about 1 month or so and one day it just quit working all together , so i went and got a new starter, bench tested it and it works just fine. i put it in and nothing at all. not even if i try to get it to start the way i had been doin it for the last month. pulled it out and tested it again on the bench all is good with the starter any ideas?

Clean your terminals on the cables at the battery and starter to start with. If that doesn't help, then I would look at your ignition switch.
