Starter problem My 2001 diablo VT. i turned off the vehicle and the vehicle did not start. i was unable to restart the car. i checked voltage at the starter and got 11.2 volts. I checked voltage at the exciter wire to the starter when activation to start the vehicle was applied i got 11.0 volts but no movement to the starter. i did not even hear the solenoid click. i removed the starter. i took the strater to a rebuild company who stated normally the starter cannot be rebuilt because BOSCH has the rights to new starter from the dealer replacement only. The rebuild company opened the starter and I saw the bruches all gone with only powder there. I had the starter rebuilt. I reinstalled the starter to the vehicle and still the car wort start. again I verified the starter and exciter wire has about 10.9 volts. I checked the starter relay, all fuses, and I still cannot start the vehicle. I did notice when I attempt to start the vehicle the selonid gets warm but still wont start. I bypass the selonid and the starter spins free but without the selonid the gear will not expell to make contact with the flywheel . can anyone help

    i performed an amp check on the battery which tested good on the meter when a load was applied. what am i missing i know the starters rotation is backwards compared to a normal starter, but why doesnt the solenoid eject the armature to spin the flywheel

Do you know how to test a starter electrical circuit ?
How to voltage drop test starter motor circuit
Starter Voltage Drop
The anti- theft system has nothing to do with the cranking of the starter . Disables fuel injectors so the engine doesn't run .
The theft deterrent system has been incorporated into the body control module (BCM). The theft deterrent is provided in order to prevent the vehicle operation if the correct key is not used in order to start the vehicle. The ignition key turns the lock cylinder. The cylinder rotation produces an analog voltage code in the Passlock™ sensor. This voltage code is received by the BCM. The BCM compares the voltage code to the previously learned voltage code. If the codes match, a class 2 message is sent from the BCM to the powertrain control module (PCM)/vehicle control module (VCM). The message enables the fuel injectors.

2001 lincoln navigator battery drain

Did you check for B+ voltage at the heavier gage wire on the back of the alternator ? When yor turn the key to run , not start , does the charge indicator light ? When the vehicle is running is that charge light lit or off ? There is a fuse that supplies B+ voltage to it . Fuse # 30 located in the central junction box , it's a 30 amp fuse ! Plus one more fuse located in the battery junction block # 11 20amp . With out B+ voltage at these connections on the alternator it will not charge .

I disconnected the battery and cleaned the terminals. I reconnected the terminals and the vehicle started. I then restarted the vehicle and parked it. Five minutes later it would not even turn over....

SOUND LIKE A DEAD BATTERY.IF YOUR CABLES VERY OLD REPLACE THEM.ALSO CHECK BATTERY VOLTAGE WITH A DIGITAL VOLTMETER .IT SHOULD BE 12.5 VOLTS.IF BATTERY GOOD .STARTER COULD BE THE PROBLEM.I WARN EVERY BODY TURN OFF RADIO BEFORE REMOVING BATTERY CABLE SO YOU DONT LOSE RADIO CODE.

When I turn over the key, there are dashboard lights and headlights, tail lights. The battery operates okay. But vehicle will not start.

The first thing that I would check is to make sure that the starter motor is engaging. Do you hear a click when you go to turn the motor over? If you do then you know that the starter motor is getting voltage. If it is not getting voltage then you should check and see how many volts that the battery has. It could have enough to operate electronics but not enough to turn the car over. You can also check the starter relay. This could be bad and may need to be replaced.

Lights up when turned on,but repeated clicking when you try to start it

dose it start when you get a boost off, and if it dose you need to check your battery connectors they may need replacing, and if thats not the problem make sure that your alternator is charging your battery and if non of these are the problem you need a starter.

Will not start

i suspect a faulty starter check for voltage output at the starter solenoid with a multimeter. or (shade tree) tap the starter with a hammer then attempt to start. if the vehicle starts after the tapping replace starter.
