I have had this problem with my 98 Dakota with mine it was just the terminals were bad and corroded
>i had the same problem.... under the hood on the firewall looking at the passenger side is a flat braided ground wire.... over time it gets corroded and dirty and gets red hot when starting. visit a local stereo store or any auto store for that matter and get a short heavy gauge wire to relink the engine to the chassis for a better ground. this WAS the problem with mine and the only reason i found it was because i just happened to look at some melting damage on a peice of plastic passenger side of the motor..... good luck!

Does the car battery effect the starter?
Yes, if the battery is weak it will not provide enough electrical energy to properly operate the starter.

Disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery, remove the two bolts from the starter, drop the starter enough to disconnect the wires from it and remove the starter from the engine.
Why does my starter make a clicking noise 93 Chevy blazer?
Several possibilities: 1) battery does not have enough voltage to turn the starter; 2) faulty starter motor; bad battery connection.
Can a low battery cause starter not to engage?
Yes. Without sufficient charge, the starter will not have enough amperage to crank.
Can a car backining into you cause the starter to go out?
No, unless you were hit hard enough to damage the battery or battery connections.
You have 99 Chevy cavalier and it doest start is it battery radio still plays or is it starter and if it starter can i rebuild my own starter and if so how much would that be?
Sometimes there can be enough power in the battery to run electrical things but not enough to start the engine. You need to get the battery tested to see if it will hold a charge.You can try to jump start it using another battery. If it will not start this way,try charging the battery first before going on to the starter. If it turns out to be the starter, you can have it rebuilt. This can run about 20.00-40.00.
Why would starter lock in on position when starter good for a 1966 ford ranchero?
Battery may be low on charge or NG. Battery has enough juice to engage starter drive into flywheel but not enough juice to turn engine sufficiently to start so it gets stuck. If it is left in that mode for long it will toast the starter.
What causes a Ford Windstar to not start just clicks?
If the starter is "clicking" then check the battery to make sure that is has enough juice to turn the starter. If the battery is good. It could be your starter solenoid is bad. Most of these are built into the starter nowadays. You will have to have the starter changed. I am betting on the battery especially if it is older. Another culprit could be your alternator failing to charge your battery.
Truck not starting just making clicking sounds. the starter has been changed but it still wont start what could the problem be?
A low or dead battery will have this effect. There is enough juice in the battery to activate the solenoid in the starter (causing the clicking sound), but not enough to turn over the engine. A jump start or a replacement battery may be needed if the battery is no longer capable of holding enough of a charge even when being jumped.
Why does the car click and then not start?
There is two options not enough power it the battery or a bad starter
Battery works starter will not turn Is it the starter?
That is not anywhere near enough information to make a determination about the status of the starter. Could be the starter, but could be the starter solenoid, wiring problems or even the ignition switch.
New starter and solenoid and the solenoid just clicks?
The problem can be that the battery terminals are not tight enough or that the battery cables are worn out. A starter needs really tight contact to the battery in order to supply enough current to the solenoid and starter -- merely touching the terminals won't be enough.
