Default Just changed starter still wont start

I have a 95 Sc400 and we just changed the starter. Tried to crank. Nothing. No noise but the fuel pump. Please help going crazy! I changed with a starter from the Lexus dealership.

Could the juice on the battery be low? That's what my last problem was LOL!

What are the symptoms exactly? Door light work or the gauges? Try the fuel pump bypass. Any check engine lights?

Wow changing the starter in the SC400 is pretty tough. Gotta pull the engine out. It sits right in the middle of the engine!

^ You don't have to pull the engine out.

The starter was a pain in the ***. Got it all together and had to take it back apart. Had to install a push start for the ignition.
