My wife's 2000 durango 5.9L will not start, she was running around town earlier and everything was good, when she went to pick the kids up at school she shut it off and when she returned the motor would not turn over it only clicked once and nothing else, the radio and lights and all work. I removed the starter thinking this was the problem but when I bench tested it everything was working properly, so I was thinking that the pinion was stuck in the flywheel and when I removed the starter it freed it, but when I had re-installed it and tried to turn over the engine it only did the same thing again one click and nothing, batt is @ 12v, I'm lost as to what to check next, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Remove and clean your battery connectors. Check to make sure they are tight. Often the lights will work but there is too much resistance to operate starter. If this is good have the battery checked. It should measure 12.6 to 12.8 volts with a fully charged good battery with no load.
