If your saying the starter motor won't crank, I agree with the other person, make sure battery has a full charge and battery connections all good. There are two voltage circuits at the starter motor, one comes from the battery, hot all the time. The other circuit goes hot with key in the crank position and is routed through a neutral switch and starter relay. Use a test light or digital multimeter and check for voltage on those circuits. The starter motor should ground through the engine block. Any testing at starter motor, make sure tranny is in park or neutral and parking brake is set. You can also, check field terminal for voltage, on one end of solenoid is a cable that goes down into the starter body, sometimes it has a protective rubber boot, sometimes it doesn't, Use a test lite or something and check for voltage on that cable, key in crank position. If nothing there, the problem is before the test point. As far as voltage and ground, you should have done this testing before replacing anything. Just my opinion.

You just need replace the starter solenoid my friend. That's your only problem. The solenoid is clicking, but not putting power to its other side that runs power to the starter.

  • Anonymous Mar 27, 2018

    I already replaced that, it came with the brand new starter

  • Rigger DeBusk Mar 27, 2018

    Well that rules out the logical, only other possibilities are again a faulty starter solenoid, low battery voltage, or bad connections on the cables.

SOURCE: 2001 Ford Explorer Sport wont start

Even though I bought the vehicle new, there was an aftermarket security system installed. The system had a bad diode, so i removed the system and reconnected the factory wires.

SOURCE: No start condition

It sounds as if it could be the neutral safety switch. have you tried to start it in neutral instead of park?? If it starts in neutral just have the neutral safety switch replaced. I hope this helps.

SOURCE: 2006 Jeep Wrangler won't start

First, make sure you can turn the engine by hand. If you can't then the starter can't turn it either. Have someone else turn the key and look for the source of the click...may be a relay. Go over the starting circuit with a volt meter. Check for power at the starter main terminal and then with the key turned to "start" check for power at the trigger terminal on the starter. Check battery voltage and check relay operation.
You have a neutral safety switch on the transmission if its an automatic and a clutch switch if it's a stick. Check them as well. Make sure battery grounding on fender and block are also clean and secure.

SOURCE: 06 pontiac grand prix wont start no clicking when you turn the key over even jump starting the battery, has dash lights & radio & parking lights. battery tested good. put a used starter & altinator on

Used parts such as starters and altinators don't last. It might **** but it sounds like you need to buy a new starter,altinator, and battery. Or just start with buying one at a time.

Testimonial: "kellertech1?? i tried something new.. my batt. was dead after sitting for 5hrs so i jumped it & later unhooked the batt. & hooked the batt. back up next day & car started ok kinda a weak start but started. so can a starter drain a batt or where should i look for a short or could this be a weak batt. that tested good but 2 weak 2 start the car."

So i need help. I have a 2001 pontiac aztek. Im having issues of why it would start over. I hear a click when trying to start my truck. I thought it was the battery i had it replaced with a new one. An it...

Wouldn't start ???? When you turn the key to the start position you hear clicking , starter doesn't engage an spin the engine , correct ? Filling up with fuel wouldn't cause this . You replaced the starter an battery , just guessing ! If you don't know how to test automotive electrical circuit's maybe you should take it to a qualified repair shop.

My 2001 Kia Sephia suddenly won't start.

even if your starter is out it would still click when you tried starting the car. so try replacing your battery first thats the most common problem for random starting. also look under the car you may need to jack it up. look under the intake manifold that is where the starter is check to see that everything is hooked correctly and that all the bolts are tightend securley and not loose on one side.

2001 Aztek....won't start. When trying to start,

A rapid clicking noise in a GM starter is a sign of insufficient power going to the battery. Make sure all your connections have bare, shiny metal to metal contact. Do a "load test" on the battery. It may show enough power on a voltmeter only to fail when it is forced to produce it. On a load test it shouldn't drop below 10.5 -12 volts and it should bounce back to near 14 when the load is off. Check the ground strap between the engine and body and the ground at the battery.
If everything is good I would replace the power cable from the battery to the starter. I've had a few of them that looked good but the car wouldn't start until I replaced the cable. Hope this helps.

Try to start car and nothing happens. replaced

Do the dash lights come on ? They should come on when the key is turned to the on position. If nothing happens check the engine relay. It is not too expensive to replace if you really want to eliminate that as the problem. Check all wires going to the starter and make sure it is wired correctly.

2001 Pontiac Aztek STILL will not start.

If the car is clicking, it is most likely the starter engaging, but it doesnt have enough power to crank. Charge the battery or try getting a jump.
