Unusual to fail after fitting new contacts.--

However the failure the second time could be something simple like the supply to the small tag on the motor itself.

Changing over to a different motor could have corrected a bad contact.---

That's why I asked if it worked off the car. You might be searching for another starter motor with no good reason.---
