Default cherokee wont start

i put new battery terminals on a few weeks ago becusae the old ones were corroded, and it started fine after i changed them for a few days.. now it doesnt start but it sounds like its trying to.. no clicking...jumped it and same thing..the starter was full of grease and oil and probably never changed so i went and got a new one for 70 bux and it still isn't starting...so idk if i should take it back or just leave it..but what else could it be? i checked the terminals and they're both good...not sure if its because i changed them or if its just a coincidence...i did bypass the NSS but that shouldnt have anything do with it right? it started fine after i did that as well..
