My starter went bad...so I bought a used one and put it in....car ran perfect for one day....got home and now it won't start again....got power from the battery but starter won't do anything...could the starter solenoid be bad on this one as well....checked connections and was ok...could something else had gone out or I wonder if this starter died out as well....don't know what else to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You need to verify that when you turn the key to the start position, that you are getting 12V+ at the smaller wire on the starter. If you are, and you have 12V+ and ground on the other 2 wires, the starter is dead.

If you have no 12v+ at the smaller wire with the key in the start position, you need to find out why. Start with the ignition module.
