    is it making a click noise wen u turn the key or nothing at all, if the starter was rooted it would make a click noise cause thats the solinoid is shooting out but its nit spinning, and if it only works wen its jumped i recon the battery is rooted, try putting nuther battery in it from nuther car and see wat happens, if it works then u need a new battery if not then look at getting nuther starter,

    As above, if it starts when its jumped... it's not the starter motor.
    It doesn't matter if all the electrics work, it can still be the battery thats rooted.
    11v won't start a car, but will operate electric windows and headlights just fine.
