I'm working on a project involving wind turbines. I'm using ArcMap 10.2 and ModelBuilder to count the number of wind turbines within a 5-km buffer zone of a given project (let's call it Project A) -- and then remove the turbines associated with Project A so I just have the "foreign" turbines within the buffer (e.g., those not associated with the project which establishes the median center of the buffer).
The image below shows a simple example involving just two projects, but I've got 58 different projects I need to analyze, some of which overalap with multiple wind farms -- which is why I am attempting to use ModelBuilder to automate the process.
The script does what I need when I step through the components individually (see figure below) -- but when I run the last process, it just returns an empty result.
I'm pasting the manual steps I'm trying to replicate in ModelBuilder below -- I have a feeling I'm overlooking something obvious, but despite a lot of tweaking, I can't figure it out. Thus, any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

1) Select by Location: - Selection method: Select features from - Target layer: ALL WIND TURBINES - Source layer: PROJECT A (projects saved as separate layers) - Spatial selection method... " - are within a distance of the source feature" 5,000 meters
2) Select by Attributes - Method: Remove from current selection - Where site_name = ‘PROJECT A’ - Count using attribute table
3) Add value of "foreign" turbines to project shapefile - Start Editor and add value by hand to Fr_trb field
