Default Starter Troubles...

...atleast that was one of the things that crossed my mind. Here's my problem:

Whenever I try to start my car, it does nothing. The starter doesn't even click.

I've had the battery and starter tested at my local Advance Auto Parts and they claim both are fine and that the battery is full of charge (I used a small battery charger to re-charge it after my last thread). They also suggested the switch on the clutch, the starter relay, and to check my wiring. I can't see how ANY of these could be it, as jump starting starts the car everytime.

A friend also suggested my aftermarket radio (installed long before I got the car) could be causing an issue, but when I first purchased this battery, the car started every time I tried it. So...

Any ideas, guys?

After putting the starter back in last night, I walked out to the garage to fiddle with the radio some a few minutes ago. Car turned over and started without a second thought, 4 consecutive times, twice with the aftermarket radio (that came with the car, already installed) disconnected, twice with it connected. I have no idea...
