Agree with Jeff, seems like a starter solenoid problem. You can either buy a new starter which comes with a solenoid or just buy the solenoid. Like Jeff said have it tested at autozone etc and they will tell you if the starter is good, if the starter is good then just buy a new solenoid for about 90 bucks. That should do it. you can also check to make sure your battery terminals are tight, clean and the cables are not rusty, also you can can check the Starter Relay try to replace that first. These things are much cheaper than the solenoid or starter.

Hi, first try a jump start. If it will jump satrt, clean and tighten the battery terminals. If it will not jump start, take the starter/solenoid out and have it tested at your local parts chain. For more info, please see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r6222268-engine_doesnt_crank_turn_over . Please let me know if you need instructions or have any other questions, and thanks for using FixYa.

Truck won't start

If the engine will not crank, it could be the starter, the neutral safety switch, or a bad connection.
A mechanic would check the starter circuit back to the key switch.

Just finished driving car, tried to start it back up and nothing happens. Radio works fine, lights come up but car won't start.

if starter is not engaging or clicks then have battery load tested. if battery checks good then test the voltage draw on the starter,may be dragging when it gets hot.

2009 HHR won't start. Battery is good.

Is the security light on or blinking?If not then do you have power to the starter.You can check this with a test light.You should have power when you turn the key to start.The test light should light up.Should be the small wire.I believe it is purple in color.If the security light is on then you will have to get the codes to see what is causing the no start.Hope this helps.Good luck.

My husband was driving his recently purchased Infiniti I35 (2003) and he took it on a fairly long trip with no problems. He just took the car to work this morning and when he went to crank it this...

That is a problem with the imobilizer.If you have a key fob replace the battery in the fob.If that fails then you have to get the imobilizer deactivated by a garage

Pt wont start or turn over

try to get a jump from a friend and see what happens, does the same, faulty starter, may need replacing, try to use small hammer and tap lightly on the starter couple time and have a friend start the car while you tap lightly on it. check ignition switch where you stick the key in. stick the key in the ignition and turn the key back and forth jiggle and wiggle it and see if your igniting will make contact. do it several time to test and see if its the ignition problems, this part is not cheap to replace.

Can not jump start my Infiniti FX 35 2007

need clarification: car will not crank? When not cranking you attempt to jump start it and still will not crank? If is is correct, do the accessores (ie,headlights,radio,wipers,etc.) work normally when you try this? If so it may be a starting, security system problerm. If the accessories are weak when attempting this then (1)verify clean and tight battery connections, (2)verify jumper wire connections, (3)if all this is good and battery is still not jumping then you will need to charge the battery. if battery will not charge, remove it and have it tested at a parts store(most parts stores will do this for FREE). Replace battery if necessary-then verify normal charging and that there is no accessory draw

Thanks,
