I was charged $25 for the rebuild.

Tested my theory about the ground straps by hooking a jumper cable between the alternator body and the negative battery terminal. Still nothing but clicks from the starter. Coworker tried to jump me from his Jeep, nothing. POSSIBLY IMPORTANT PIECE OF INFORMATION: when I first replaced the starter the day after buying the car, the old starter appeared to be BRAND NEW. Whatever my issue is could be something that's either killing starters, or making them show their weaknesses almost immediately, if that makes sense.

If it's a grounding issue, I'm not sure why I still have nothing after connecting the jumper cable from the alternator body to the negative terminal.
