hey fellaz

ive got a 95 accord no v-tec. i thought the starter went so i bought new one and does the same thing so i tried another starter and same thing. when u turn the key it just clicks once. sounds the same as a dead battery would. i put volt meter on it and its getting 14v when u turn the key. some one said maybe a bad ground. ive checked and seems ok... also someone mentioned it might be the after market alarm system....

any ideas? thx alot

 

how could you be getting 14 volts from a 12.6 volt battery? Might want to learn how to use the volt meter? Could still be a bad connection or battery

 

What are you checking? The battery, the large cable to the starter or the small wire going to the solenoid (BLK/WHT, I think...getting old sucks) as someone holds the key to "start"?

 

hey fellaz

when i put voltmeter on fat wire on starter it shows 12v when the key is being turned

any ideas


and im a licensed electrician so i know how to use volt meter... lol

 

The big wire is always hot. You need to be checking the small wire.

 

Batteries can do weird things.

Yeah shouldn't be 14 volts, unless the battery has an issue, which I have seen a car battery put out 16 volts under a non running load test.

So it sounds like a suspect battery or ground wire.

I am presuming you know the engine isn't seized.
