Could be starter solenoid - Follow + battery cable should connect to solenoid
Ignition swtich?? Wiring ok from battery? Check all the grounds to engine and chassis... peek at a manual for a diagram// See if your local library has a professional shop manual to look at for free... dave
Most likely the ignition/key switch. Very common problem with ION.

Low battery voltage? Perhaps a lose or corroded battery cable Loose starter cable Weak starter solenoid Weak starter
not exactly sure whats being asked but if your wondering how to replace the starter you first disconnect the battery then disconect battery cable from starter unbolt the starter i believe two bolts the reverse for installlation make shure to keep track of any spacers on the original and duplicate with new one but it might not be the starter check the solinoid first its mounted on the starter in GM cars if just a click or bad crank power its starter if theres no click and no crank it might just be the solinoid
Check the MAP sensor, possible culprit.
my 95 s-10 will not crank i ck the starter , bat they are good the willing to the starter is good ,i replaced the ingnition switch,the key switch whats left Scott from Ohio
whats wrong my starter wire caaame off how do i put it back on
Discharged or bad battery Battery cables loose or corroded Defective Starter or starter solenoid Bad Neutral or safety switch
Might be your starter Question: How do you know the battery is in good condition? That clicking sound is the starter not having enough amps to turn the starter motor. Check the terminal for corrosion or a loose power wire to the starter solenoid. Also the wires to the starter relay. Take the battery to a auto parts store to be tested.
Neutral switch Starter solenoid Starter Loose or dirty battery cable
It sounds like the starter solenoid is bad.
Positive jumper to starter, or anyplace along the electrical system. Negative to ground. But whats the big deal about accessing the battery...in the trunk rather than the hood? where is the starter in c230?
whats the battery voltage start there and test your way down
Most likely the starter is "dragging" due to worn bushings. When the bushings wear, the starter will "drag" against the interior of the housing and barely spin, causing the battery to drain.
