Starter solenoid buzzes and will not turn over

Remove the starter and connect it direct to a battery with no solenoid. If it spins, the problem is the solenoid or the wiring to it.

You mean when you turn the key you hear buzzing sound but starter is not turning motor?
Sounds like automatic decompressor valve not activating on cam and starter motor cannot/will not be able to turn crank against compression. see if you can spin the motor by hand. If not you need to replace valve decompressor gear inside motor.

charge the battery chk the wires it might be a bad starter

Well it wouldn't be a solenoid. My guess would be a starter relay.check to see if you can find the buzzing noise .it could be a fuseable link that's starting to fail .

The buzzing sound is most likely the started solenoid chattering due to low battery voltage, change the battery and try again. If it still does it make make sure the engine is not seized and can turn over. Then measure voltage going from the solenoid to the starter, if it is very low change the solenoid

Sounds like either the starter or starter solenoid. With the key in the "On" position try using one side (either positive or negative) of a pair of jumper cables. Locate the starter solenoid and clip one lead to the battery side of the solenoid, and just quickly touch the other lead to the other side of the solenoid. If the starter engages, replace the solenoid. If not, carefully check the positive cable from the battery to the solenoid for cracks, exposed wire, corrosion and good, tight connection. Good luck.

hi,

the first thing that I would check is to make sure your battery is fully charged or try and jump the battery using another car battery.
if still no go then I would say that your starter solenoid is bad.
while checking the solenoid/starter double check to make sure your block to body ground cable is secure.

hope this helps,

You have bad connection. Check all cables from battery on. If you ohm meter, they cheap,go from battery to solenoid.(12v) From solenoid to starter, may haveto turn the key. Check all wires good connections, You change a lot parts, back track your find the problem. GOOD LUCK

Possibly you have your main power lead hooked to the starter side of solenoid.

you have a bad solenoid battery or starter try to ground the starter touch positive to groundwith a rubber ended screw driver if the starter spins you have a bad solenoid
