Dereck,
Sounds to me like there is not a strong enough current going to the starter.
You may want to double check all connections again. I know it sounds too
easy but that is want my started did before I had a good connection to the
battery.
Good luck.

look for the car. I removed the number plate light and taped up the wites. I
removed the battery to enable easier access to the bumper irons. One of the
nuts kind of indirectly shares the same post as the earth. My battery switch
has never been connected.

Pressed the starter, nothing, pressed it a couple more times and got a
whirring noise followed by a click coming from the direction of the starter.
