when they tested it, did the gear pop out a little? ( to engage )
If not the starter may still be spining and functioning but not engaging the motor.
Another posibility is a weak battery. I know you tested another battery with it
but maybe it was a little weak too?
Good luck.

My point was whether or not the gear on the starter actually "pops out" to engage the engine. I really was not trying to come across as condesending or being a dick. I was just trying to help you out. But really in my experience I've had people test my parts and while they may function properly on the bench in some cases did not in the actual application. As far as the battery power issue again I'm not trying to insult you or talk down to you, I'm just a car lover trying to help out a fellow car lover. I appologize if I came across as rude man. I hope you get the issue resolved and get your ride back on the road.

?a click under the dash? do you got a remote starter?(faulty relay)

Pull the starter again, try and hot wire it to see if that gear pop's out and engages, then get back to us

Sorry I can't help you with the wire color info man. I don't have the manual for that model.
Clicking from behind the dash, just a guess, maybe a relay?
Good luck.

clicking part is definitely a relay, anyways, you mentioned you bypassed the starter already right?
your problem could be a bad pinion gear on your starter. it maybe worn out that it does not engage with your flywheel/flexplate teeth thereby not cranking your motor.
