Now you must check the starter. The large cable going to the starter supplies 12+ volts. The small wire supplies 12 volts when the key is turned to the start position. Using a volt meter or 12V test light check for voltage at the small wire when the key is turned to start. If 12 volts are now present and your engine grounds are good then the starter is bad. You can try to bamg on the starter with a broom stick while someone turns the key to start. sometimes this will get the starter moving again. but not for long. starter replacement will be required.

If 12 volts is not present at the small wire when turning the key then you may suspect a blown fuse, fusible link, bad starter relay, neutral or clutch safety switch, or faulty ignition switch.

My ford ka will not crank only clicks battery fully charged it will start with jump from other started car but when try to start it only clicks and brr sound dails jump on the dash

I had a similar problem with a Volvo ages ago. With a new battery, I paid to have an alternator replaced over and over. Finally paid to have the alternator changed over to a generator. Turned out - the new battery was the problem. It was ... broken from day one. Just a thought.

Replace it . I have found to repair it costs more than a replacement.

2004 chevy Malibu classic will not start- engine doesn't turn over just makes a gasping sound when the key is turned. I thought it was the starter but after replacing it the problem persists. Fuel pump...

Based on the gasping sound I would think that you need to check the solenoid on the starter. Sounds like it is trying to engage the starter. Make sure one of you battery cables is loose and both are tight on the battery. If you have a tester I would also check for voltage at the battery. Hope this helps.

Loud click and buzz when trying to start car

your starter is shot. The click and the ting sound is your bendex not engaging properly. You can catch car on fire, or mess up your computer if you keep trying to start it. Be sure to disconnect the battery when you change it. Good luck

Not the Key but the ignition itself. Replace teh ignition module where the key is inserted to start the vehicle and that should resolve the issue.
