89 si hatch the starter is not turning over at all.. new battery in car what all could it be besides the starter itself? relay?

 

solenoid?

actual starter itself?

grounds?

just my guesses

 

What happens when you try to start it? do you hear a click? does your CEL come on when you turn the ignition to acc? Have you checked your battery for voltage? I know you said it's new, but if you have a short somewhere, it could have drained your battery. Also, look under the hood and dash for any blown fuses.

 

nothing all the lights an buzzer comes on an everything but when u hold down the key to start is jus nothing no click or nothin

 

Yeah, I would check your grounds and fuses. I always check the small, easy, cheap stuff before I start replacing big ticket items. 80% of the time it is something really simple like a blown fuse...

check your battery voltage like I said before too. You can pick up a voltimiter from auto zone for like $10. What buzzer are you talking about? And does your check engine light come on?

let us know what you find out.

 

yeah same s*** happened to me i replaced the starter and then when i got the new on it didnt start it was the grounds

 

This is going on with my hatch w/ a new starter and alternator and battery! It'll start fine then running around doing stuff ill go to start it again and nothing, just as op described, no clicking and last time i couldn't jump it with cables. But when i go to jump the starter it starts. I think i have a loose wire maybe? why would it start and then not the next time does yours do that too?

 

Tap the starter when u start it. If it starts then your starter is getting stuck, and will need a new one. Let someone tap it, while he is tapping crank the car.

 

This definitely sounds like a short circuit. Especially since it is an intermittent problem. Unfortunately, this a frequent issue that we have to deal with as owners of cars that are 20+ years old. Over the years, wires are exposed to heat cycles, vibration, and various chemicals which makes the sheathing susceptible to cracking, melting, fraying, and disintegration.

Unfortunately, there is no other way to check for a short circuit (that I know of) other than to follow the wires that you think may be causing it and looking for signs of exposed wire.

As I said before, I would start with the simple, cheap stuff. First check for short circuits, bad fuses, and grounds before replacing expensive parts.

 

clutch pedal idiot switch?

 

WOW! That's a really good thought! Good job! That never occured to me. That's actually happened to me before. The little rubber grommet fell out one time, and I was going nuts trying to figure it out.

Yeah, rep to this guy. Check your idiot switch...

 

ground, clutch switch or ignition switch

 

i just want to know what happens.. starter, engine, tranny grounds? maybe clutch switch, this happend to my boys eg..
