If the starter spins but does not engage the flywheel, either the starter is faulty or there are teeth missing from the flywheel.

put battery on charge for a at least a day if not two before you start interfering with with anything.Sounds like a flat battery or battery not holding enough reserve amperage power.

Sounds like the solenoid. You know you have Roadside Assistance with your new Hyundai. Have it towed in and get it diagnosed & repaired under warranty.

SOURCE: 2000 audi a4 starter gremlin

your barking up the wrong gum tree witht the starter motor ,you have an electrical supply problem on the battery terminal area with more than one wire connected or a dodgy earth cable from the engine to the chassis .i would be inclined to check and fit another earth cable from a good connection on the engine -(bell housing) and run it back to battery terminal to eliminate all posibilitys .before anything else ,make you own if you have to but only use copper cable .this is my last question for tonight ,have to go pick er indoors up from work now

Replaced starter on 2002 Nissan Xterra. When I placed the ground wire on the battery, the truck tried to start without the keys in it

Hey! If your 2002 Nissan Xterra attempted to start without the keys in the ignition after replacing the starter, there may be an issue with the electrical system or the starter installation. Here are a few things you can check:
  1. Wiring connections: Double-check the wiring connections on the starter. Ensure that the positive and negative cables are securely attached to the appropriate terminals on the starter. Make sure there are no loose or exposed wires.
  2. Starter solenoid: The starter solenoid is responsible for engaging the starter motor when the ignition key is turned. It's possible that the solenoid is malfunctioning or wired incorrectly. Check the solenoid connections and wiring to ensure they are properly connected and in the correct configuration.
  3. Ignition switch: It's unusual for a vehicle to attempt to start without the keys in the ignition. There could be an issue with the ignition switch or the wiring related to the ignition system. Inspect the ignition switch and its wiring for any signs of damage or loose connections.
  4. Security system: Some vehicles have a security system that can prevent unauthorized starting. If your Xterra is equipped with a security system, ensure that it is not causing the issue. Refer to the vehicle's manual or contact a Nissan dealership for instructions on troubleshooting the security system.
  5. Starter replacement: If all the wiring connections and components appear to be in order, it's possible that the replacement starter is faulty or incompatible with your vehicle. Consider double-checking the specifications of the new starter to ensure it is the correct model for your Xterra.
If you are unsure or uncomfortable with performing these checks yourself, it is recommended to consult a professional mechanic or contact a Nissan dealership for assistance. They will have the expertise and tools necessary to diagnose and resolve the issue with your Xterra's starting system.

Ford f100 starter diagram

You have starter relay on fender lining. A large post on either side of relay? You can take two long shank screwdrivers, touch each post, then touch the shanks. The starter motor should crank. If you try that make sure tranny is in park or neutral and parking brake is set. Battery has a full charge and battery connections all good? Starter motor is good? Engine isn't seized?
I couldn't get everything in one picture, there is the ignition switch and neutral or clutch switch depending on the tranny and wiring circuits.

I have a 95 infiniti j30 and it wont start...battery,cables,terminal..starter/ignition all good...it runs perfect...except 4 1 problem...itll sumtimes not crank..everything works..it just wont...

Hello! intermittent faults are difficult to locate but I'll narrow it down to three possibilities: #1 bad ignition Switch...#2 Bad Starter relay...And #3 bad Shift Range Selector Switch...Lets eliminate...Next time it happens shift into Neutral and see if it starts...If that doesn't make a difference...Switch the Starter Relay with the Defogger relay (they are the same relay) and see if the problem of starting is solved...Location of starter relay...It's located in the fuse box, directly in front of the passenger side strut tower next to the Battery.. You'll see a row of relays that are the same size. (four across). It is the second relay from the left...And Blue in color...Just to its left is the Defogger relay (Blue)...If none of the above move or solve the fault I suggest replacing the ignition switch...See photo below...Guru...saailer

Installed brand new starter, battery fully charged, and still wont crank. It starts when I kick start it. 1988 nissan pathfinder. What else could be the problem? Relay switch? Or ignition? Please help

Check the ignition switch, and the wiring to the starter solenoid. Get someone to turn the key to the crank (start) position and check for voltage at the starter solinoid. Check the starter relay and all fuses.

Car doesnt want to start. all lights come on when in the on position however when I turn it to start nothing happens it dont even try to turn over it just clicks 2002 hyundai xg350

The starting system consists of:
  • starter motor
  • starter switch, part of the ignition switch
  • starter motor solenoid relay switch
  • starter solenoid
  • starter drive
When you turn your key to start your engine, it just clicks, right? If so, more than likely this is due to a bad battery. Even though your battery may appear to be fully charged, it may have a dead cell, or worse. If you get a jump, does the vehicle start? If so, replace your battery.

Possible sources of the problem if the engine does not crank or the relay clicks:
  1. Battery
  2. Starter motor
  3. Starter motor relay
  4. Ignition switch
  5. Damaged fuse
  6. Anti-theft system
  7. Circuitry

When the ignition key is turned the dash board lights up but the motor does not turn.

a) Do you have crank no start? (see entire write up)
b)No crank no start ,No dash lights?, ( battery, battery cables, ignition switch,,starter relay)

If you have symptom A then the affected items are , ignition switch, battery, battery cables, starter, starter relay ,coil, coil pack, ignition module ,Distributor cap ,rotor, (if applicable) spark plugs and wires.


.If the battery iS more than 5yrs old OR COMMING CLOSE TO IT DEPENDING ON ITS CURRENT CONDITION you may want to replace it.
If battery does not pass load test replace it.
Whatever you decide the rest of the items can NOT be checked out without a fully charged battery.
Check ignition switch and starter relay for B+ going to them and leaving them. Check starter circuit. Make sure B+ is making it to starter ( use a digital voltmeter). If B+ (12 volts) is making it to the starter and it doesn't crank then the starter is defective. Verify this by removing the starter and have it bench tested.

I put a new starter and batter in my 95 2500 v10 motors turn over when it wants to once and a while it will catch and start what could it be maybe the allternater

Is this the same problem that you before you replaced those parts? If not it sounds to me like you have a defective starter. If this is the same problem that you before then it could be, the neutral safety switch, the ignition switch, or the starter relay battery cables, poor ground. Check the negative cable connections at the frame, is it loose or corroded? The alternators job is to keep the battery charged, it doesn't have any affect on the starting system. The new battery should be fully charged.
