SO FRUSTERATING! ANY IDEAS ANY HELP ANY QUESTIONS ARE GLADDY WELCOME!!!! ANYTHING TO GET ME FURTHER TO FIXING IT THAT FROM WHERE I AM NOW!! i DO have my old car with parts! HELP!!

TTT!!! HELP NOW!

 

TTT! i just swapped starters, still not working, im guessing its the solenoid... you guys are being of no help. NO ONE has had similar problems at all?! help!

 

need new battery.

 

definitely NOT it. already tried jump starting it. (read above)

 

this might work it like re-routes the ignition thing. have one persion in the incase it goes driving away. make sure the e brake is on and car is in neutral
1 run a wire strait from the positive on the batt to the starter selinoid but do not connect!( there are two plugs it is the little one that is lower it should be a female pulg thing)
2 turn the ignitoin on
3 put the free end into the hole where you un pluged the starter selinoid
and it might fire up

 

is that hard to read?? im me

 

sorry that did not work it was better than nuttin
GOOD LUCK

 

it was the solenoid. i just swapped that too and it worked. thanks for the help andrew. later.

 

do you have a volt gauge or a DMM(digital multi meter) ? if so check and make sure you don't drop below 9.5 volts.
