Either the solenoid or starter has gone bad.


2004 Nissan altima won't start is it the battery?

No way we can tell from here. If the engine cranks, it is not the battery. The battery can be good and the engine not crank due to other problems. Sorry, but we really cannot diagnose by remote control.

Can a battery that fails the storage capacity test keep an engine from starting - even when the engine still cranks?

No. If you have enough power for the engine to crank then it has enough power to run the other systems. ALSO..i've started a car with a good battery and replaced it with "unknown battery" and it has stalled the motor. Starter and everything was good. Technically, even if the battery is dead and all other systems are normal this shouldn't happen. Go figure.


Your 1980 camaro z28 some times cranks slow other times crank good?

Is your battery going? Does it crank slow first think in the morning and is goot the rest of the day? Time for a battery change. If it's happening anytime, clean all the terminals, including the one on the starter and selenoid.


Why would a Jeep start easily sometimes then other times just click if I turn the ignition on and off quickly a few times it starts.?

Clean dry and serviceableStart with your battery connections, make sure they are clean and tight, also check starter wires.. might also need to check engine relays, when they are going bad they will sometimes do this on and off behavior look for the engine control computer or fuel pump or starter relay and swap it out with one that you know is good and is the same relay like a/c. AnswerIf the starter cranks well when it DOES work, but does nothing but click for a few times then starts sometimes, it's most likely the solenoid that is internal to the starter.


Is the battery connected to the alternator?

Indirectly. The positive cable on the battery is hooked to the starter. The other wire on the starter post goes up to the alternator.

Anything that is on and uses electricity. You may also have a dead cell in the battery which will drain the battery.

Where is the starter motor?

Year, make, model and engine size would help but if you follow the positive battery cable from the battery to the other end of it, it will be connected to the starter.
