I had the same problem on my 99 and a buddy on his 97.The positive wire harness(the one that hooks to the battery,starter,starter relay,etc) Has a break in it some where.Ours was broke or nearly broke on the starter solenoid.The crimped lug was broken.Sometimes it would start and other times it wouldn't.Check it, It may be the reason.

What causes 2004 jeep to not crank eventhough it still has full battery?

start back at the battery, are the leads corroded? is there a clicking noise when the starter is engaged but the starter wont turn? are the leads from the battery to the starter in good condition. Usually any sign of a white powder around the battery or a lot of dirt is a sign of needing attention. The clicking could be a starter relay aor the starter itself needing replacement.


Why would a car just click when trying to start other than the cause of a bad battery?

A bad starter. A loose connection @ the terminal ends-the battery cables-the starter solonoid-IF IT has Rubber covers around the battery ends corrosion from battery acid could cause it.EVEN a bad ground on the engine from the battery 2 the frame.(battery cables) The battery cable ends could be corroded and should be cleaned. The next step would be to check the starter selenoid and then the starter.

How do you remove the starter on a 1984 Mazda B-2000?

I changed my starter motor on my 1984 B2000 Pickup. Has to be done from underneath. Raise the front end - use jackstands. Remove the negative battery terminal. The holding bolts on the starter are difficult to reach and slow to remove but,with patience, can be done. Space around the motor is tight but with persistance, you can snake it out. Good Luck.

How a starter works?

Electric current from the battery goes to solenoid, it clicks in and connects the full power of battery to starter main terminal, this spins the starter motor over, the starter Bendix gear on the end of the motor shaft spins around and forward about an inch to engage the gearing on the rim of the flywheel. This turns and when speed is up it throws the starter gear back to it's rest position.

Where is the starter on a 2006 Ford Freestar?

Under the oil pan joint level mounted into the transmission housing so it can engage the flywheel ring gear. The starter is accessed from under the vehicle. There are 2 bolts that attach the unit.WARNING: The starter is connected to the battery with heavy high current leads that can carry dangerous currents. Always disconnect the battery ground terminal before working on or around the starter. Be sure the protective covers are in place before reconnecting the battery.


1995 sable makes a clicking sound but wont start and the battery is good any ideas?

Check the leads to the starter and also if the battery has a full charge (should be around 12.4 volts). There may be a short in the wiring, fried starter solenoid or a wiring issue.

You think your starter solenoid is bad how do you test it?

If I were testing it, I'd use a jumper wire from the direct battery lead to the ignition switch starter contact that's on the starter. If the solenoid engages and turns the starter I'd know the solenoid is good. If not, I'd verify that the battery and cable is good before pulling the starter. Not knowing anyone else's level of comfort/competence, I wouldn't recommend that procedure if you don't know your way around the described components.
