The starter is not turning when it is installed on the car. Just turns when it is on my work bench.

Check the connection from the negative battery cable to chassis/engine if you have not already.

I shall do that when I get home Thanks. Its the small things that are hard to find.

I found the problem,it was a new spring ring positive battery cable. The cable going into the positive terminal was loose causing the problem. If I held the cable tight into the spring ring terminal the car would start. Thanks for the help,who would have thought a brand new battery cable .

How do New Car Dealers auto mechanics make money if every thing is new? Find and fix just like you did. Paul

Paul, I am glad you found the problem. I was just before recommending that you start parking facing downhill, which would not have been much fun in the snow.
