Default 1988 Corsica New Starter won't even turn over...

We have a 1988 Corsica, it's always ran really good.

Then it started getting Slower, and Slower Starting up. Then finally
one day, it just wouldn't start up, It had a horrible noise, so we
knew we had 3 options.

1. Battery Was bad.
2. Alternator went bad.
3. Starter was shot.

The Battery was still fully charged, so that Eliminated the Battery,
and Alternator.

So we took out the Starter, and Traded it in for a New Starter.

We Installed it today, and Then we turned the key, and Nothing. The
motor doesn't even attempt to start up, what do you think is the
problem?

Also, We checked the voltage, and the battery was good, aswell as the
wires connecting to the starter were getting charge.

Have you checked that solenoid gets power form the switch?
