Re: My 1995 sunfire started winding from the starter area...
Sounds like a bad starter solenoid usually easier to change the whole starter than just the solenoid the reason it started at all was probly just luck hope this helps good luck

Your going down the wrong road-- logically thinking Find out what controls the voltage to the starter solenoid Like the ignition switch being worn out,neutral sw,brake sw whatever is in the starting circiut To try & answer questions on this site, i feel like I'm talking to people back in the 1970's Today you need wiring diagrams,a volt meter,pencil & paper & all the reference material before walking to the car Point being-- you can't fix or figure out what you don't know, learn the system FIRST & then approach the car with your road map,so you can test,test,test No way to resolve any vehicle issue installing parts Going forward you should spend 80% of your time thinking & testing & only 20% working hard,that goes for anything in life I never had a champion problem, but your parts store can test the starters & alternators & such for free
I ran into the problem and it was corrosion on the battery terminals. on the inside against the battery. also check the the terminals for good connection.
Stay warm
Anytime a starter clicks instead of turning over, you should suspect your battery is weak. Try to get a jump start and take the car to an auto parts store. Most of them will do bettery and alternator checks for no charge.
you need to get your starter checked or just replace the the starter solenoid or starter brush holder assembly.the signal light thing may be due to a high resistance in the wire ends that bolt to the starter solenoid.either way you need to check out the starter and the wireing to it.
1- Battery may be weak, need to recharge.
2- At this car age, the solenoid has corroded contact causing high resistance reducing the current delivered to the starter. Therefore you could hear click coming from the solenoid, but not started.
3- Your solenoid costs about $41
