Truck will not turn starter, no power anywere. If I cross the rerminals on the solinoid the motor will turn but not start' I have no lights,horn. I have replaced Starter, Solinoid, ignition switch nothing seems to work It started out the starter would stay engaged after motor was running Would a bad ignition coil keep it from starting and having no lights dash gages,and not starting ??

have you crossed the solenoid terminals and checked the starter for operation? may have the battery cable burnt thru to ground by the exhaust side of the motor..it happens if the cable is up against the block..

what is the make and model and year please? you are saying the starter was jumped to start your truck. I am hoping you do not have a new truck.

The starter solinoid is on the top of starter. Short the two large terminals on it, if the starter turns then the solinoid is faulty. If not then the starter is faulty.

check for power to starter solinoid, if power to there. then it has to be a bad starter solinoid or starter. checker solinoid first. if bad you will not hear any clicks or anything.

Connect an extra wire to the starter input of the starter motor. Connect a voltmeter to it and turn the ignition. If there's no voltage there or the voltage drops far below acceptable levels check the original wire. Alternatively use the new lead to start the engine.

You more than likely need a new starter selinoid. Also make sure your alternator is putting out enough charge,13.2V or higher. You may also have a problem with the red power cable to the starter especially at the starter hook up point. Hope this helps you. Good luck!

hi, i think you have put the MAIN HEAVY CABLE direct to the STARTER MOTOR on the SOLINOID. this will keep the starter motor running. take battery lead NEGATIVE CABLE OFF the BATTERY, and change the MAIN HEAVY CABLE from the SOLINOID terminal to the other MAIN terminal on the SOLINOID and NORMALLY it SHOULD go with a SLIGHTY (smaller cable this GO'S to the FUSEBOX rest of car POSITIVE FEED). the other small wire is the solinoid START WIRE. the solinoid has 2 circuits the first circuit is HEAVY BATTERY LEAD to 1 terminal on the solinoid. the other side of the solinoid HEAVY CABLE to STARTER MOTOR. this is only 1 side of the SOLINOID (THIS IS A VERY VERY HEAVY SWITCH). the other side of the SOLINOID is the START SIDE (REMOTE CONTACT) of the SOLINOID, by turning the IGNITION KEY to STARTER POSITION, this operates the SOLINOID. this makes contact to run the starter motor. once the connections are done REPLACE NAGATIVE BATTERY LEAD and start the car. gerry

hi, this is the solinoid contacts (BURNED OUT). there are 2 parts to the solinoid (HEAVY SWITCH) connects BATTERY to STARTER MOTOR. the other part of the SOLINOID is IGNITION KEY TURN TO SOLINOID the wiring to this part is working. (by changing the solinoid this will work). thank you gerry

Make sure the starter relay is working properly. Check to see if you are getting power at the relay + cable. Then check to see if you are getting power from the relay to the starter, you may have to turn on the ignition or get someone to turn the switch over in start position. If you're getting power here, then your problem is elsewhere. Are you getting the car to start or just no electrical such as lights and etc?

your battery is dead, jump start it and go have it tested at a parts store, its free to do this. They would also be able to test your alternator and voltage regulator for you too.
