The starter has two wires connecting to it. The large one from battery and the brown wire going to starter relay.
Unplug the brown wire from starter relay. Gently pull the brown wire out and towards the battery. Take a small screwdriver and insert into the back side of the brown wire connector (not the plug in part – for that will bend that part out of shape). Touch the small screwdriver/connector to positive battery post.
Much safer and does the same thing.
If battery is charged – but it doesn’t crank over, then 99.44% chance it’s a bad starter.


*** Note: 99.44% is some random number I came up with - that may or might not be correct.

What tests did u already perform?

As to the above question......
Ign key off, the engine should crank.

either way all it did was make a click noise for a second but that's it, with everything plugged in it sounds the same way (my wife was with me this time so I had her try to start while I looked under the hood) so it seems like its the starter I guess
 
Have you checked your battery voltage?

I suspect a dead or a discharged battery, possibly, or a loose connection.
You have to have over 9.0 volts or car won’t crank and over 9.5 volts for car to fire off.
 
we tried jumpstarting it, it didn't make any difference, also headlights are bright, and everything works fine, I've checked the battery connections, there fine, even cleaned them
 
Cool.
The problem is the starter or the circuit to engage the starter.

If you used the brown wire to jump to battery terminal and “nutin” then finger points to the starter.
