Just like anything else, the starter solenoid will eventually wear out. They can short, short to ground and stick.

My 1992 Dodge Grand Caravan won't start. I have a power inside but none under the hood. Won't even turn over. What would cause this?

My first guess would be the starter selinoid. No, I don't know where it is in your vehicle. Follow the big wire back from the starter to find it. You're going to need a test light for this. Make sure there's power on the "battery" side of the selinoid, if YES, make sure there's power on the "starter" side when the key is turned to start. If NO, replace the selinoid - If YES, make sure there's power to the starter, if YES, replace the starter.

Depends on the year, but basicaly, there will be a large wire/cable comming off the starter, follow that as it goes DIRECTLY to the selinoid... on the selinoid, you will see another large wire/cable..that goes directly to the POS on the battery..so...you can also follow the large cable comming off the POS battery post, and find the selinoid...

Either your battery is run down or the starter has gone bad. Try tapping the selinoid (small cylinder)on the side of the starter.


Could a bad starter not make anything in the car come on such as the radio or the clock?

If the starter has a direct ground short, it is possible that many electrical accessories/electrical components will act like they have hardly any power or not come on at all. Fastest way to find out, by jumping the two big screws on the selinoid. (You do this by placing a screwdriver across the two bolts) The vehicle will do nothing and the starter will have some sparking to it, only if the starter or celiniod is bad. If it is good, it will attempt to start.


You have a1993 Toyota celica you hear a clicking noise under your glovebox when you turn the ignition it will not turn over?

sounds like your selinoid is bad. it might be separate from your starter or it might be attached. that means you can get a new one or try a new starter
