Put in new battery but car had problems starting this was in November 2018. A week ago it just wouldn't start we tried jumping it nothing put it on charger still nothing. Checked battery terminal connections fuse box made sure the car was in park still no start. Reading on them seem slots of others have the same issue don't know what to do here no way to check starter as it is hard to get to. Had battery checked at parts store and alternator said both were good. Now when we checked battery on charger it tested at 14, 2 off charger 11.1 yet it wouldn't start with jump start wouldn't turn over but we could hear solenoid noise. Any ideas on what it could be? Please help.

Welcome to 2CarPros.

Off the charger, the voltage should be 12v or a bit higher. It sounds like the battery is bad, but that doesn't explain why it won't crank with the jumper pack. The only thing you can do at this point is remove the starter and test it. If you can't access it, remove it and have it bench tested at the parts store.

Here are the directions for removing and replacing the starter. The attached pics correlate with the directions.
