Good evening everyone. I have run into a bit of trouble with my SR3. I had it out at the track last weekend. Started the car, backed it out under its own power and let it warm up. When getting into it for my first session out it would not crank at all. I started digging around and found the positive and negative terminals on the battery seemed to have broken off in the battery and we're causing voltage to drop out. I thought they were loose but I tried to tighten them with a socket and they just spun indefinitely. I replaced the battery and I still had the same issue where I would hit the start button and you can hear everything click but it would not crank. I thought the next thing would be the starter, I just put a brand new starter in it and it is doing the same thing again. It Powers up fine. Builds air pressure ignition is on and when I go to hit the black start button you just hear a loud click and nothing happens. If anybody has any suggestions as to where I need to look next please let me know. I am new to this platform and still trying to learn and really bummed out that I missed my first track day.

The starter relay has a green fuse (30A?) - check that.
It's mounted to the rear firewall in the engine bay in a rubber holster of sorts. there is actually a slot in the rubber under it for a spare fuse.
You might also want to check the second battery in the left side pod to make sure it has enough voltage.
@charleyhradicalsportscarregistry-com I honestly had no idea. It even had a second battery. I will check that ASAP.
