If it has an automatic trans your neutral safety switch (located near the fire wall on the steering colum) may need adjustment.
Under shifter boot or housing. It detects position of shifter so you can only engage starter in neutral.
The neutral safety switch keeps the starter from engaging when the transmission is in any gear EXCEPT park or neutral. A faulty switch would either allow the starter to engage any time or not allow the starter to engage at any time.
Flat battery, neutral safety switch, starter realy poor battery connections.
It keeps the car from starting in gear. The starter will only engage in park or neutral.
This switch is designed to be sure that the car won't be moved by the starter motor. It requires that the car be in neutral, park, or have the clutch depressed before the starter motor will engage.
Jehovah's Witnesses will maintain a neutral position with regard to these. As such, we will not engage in them, nor will we interfere with them.
Start with a volt meter at the starter. Check to verify that voltage comes in on the BIG wire, and if that's working verify that you're getting voltage to the solenoid when someone tries to engage the starter. If you have voltage to the solenoid when the keyswitch is in the "start" position, and the starter doesn't engage... it's the starter. If you're NOT getting voltage to the solenoid, check the keyswitch, wiring and the neutral lockout switch.
wiggle the shift lever, or try it in neutral, might be the safety switch on tranny
Loose or corroded battery cables? Bad starter solenoid? Bad starter? Weak neutral safety switch?
Seized engine? Weak or dead battery? Loose or corroded battery cables? Flat spot on starter motor? Bad starter solenoid? Bad neutral or clutch safety switch? Bad ignition switch?
That's insufficient information. In general, "crank over" means that the starter is not turning the engine when you put the keyswitch to the "start" position. The starter can fail to engage because of a failed starter, solenoid, keyswitch, neutral lockout switch, faulty battery, failed alternator or just about anything that would drain the battery.
if it bolts on the starter assembly you are probably talking about the starter solenoid. basically its what makes the starter engage. if its a sensor that just bolts near the starter it could be anything from a crank position sensor to a knock sensor.
