Re: Starter problems
the wiring for the starter is easy. Just take the starter out and take it to the parts store. Have them test it, if its good, take a 9 volt battery and check for voltage at the other end.

Re: Starter problems
is it an aftermarket starter? sometimes the solenoid is bad, try tapping it with a pry bar and see if it turns on, but make sure you have power up to the starter solenoid first.

Re: Starter problems
Jump the contacts on the solenoid with a big screw driver while someone turns the key. If it starts the solenoid is bad. Some times they are no good off the bat.

Re: Starter problems
so you are getting power to your starter, the starter is engaging and disengaging, correct?
if so, then make sure you are getting fuel up to your fuel rail would be my next step, i mean there's not that many things, after fuel, make sure you have spark

You don't need to have someone turning the key on. All you need to do is have the key in the onII position and jump 12 volts to the starter solenoid. If the starter turns, you have a signal problem and just trace the wire back until you find your problem.

Re: Starter problems
do u think the ignition switch might be bad? its weird, i checked some other fuses, for example my headlights, taillights, etc, its showing no juice going to them, but they still work? bad wiring?

Re: Starter problems
if they work, then they have to have to have power going to them, cause they work. the ignition switch is a possibility, what kinda car, year and model?
