Thank All for the replies. Turns out the new starter was bad. It tested good twice and then failed the next four times. Got a replacement starter, new positive and negative battery cables and a new battery. Starts like it's supposed to now. I guess the moral of the story is "If at all possible, test the new parts before you install them".

The starter in my Pathfinder suddenly quit. No clicking or slow cranking, nothing. At this point I've put in a new starter, new battery, new Positive cable and still nothing. Testing the solenoid wire shows power when the key is turned to crank so I'm assuming the relays are all functioning correctly. So my question becomes, is it possible to install a starter button running from the battery to the button and from there to the solenoid? Thanks for any help!
