Have a 1992 Dodge Ram 50 When you turn the key the lights on the dash come on but the starter does nothing you have had the Battery tested the starter tested you have replaced the ECM and Starter?
You should locate and test the solenoid. Most have three connections. There is a large cable from the battery to the solenoid, from the solenoid to the starter and from the start switch to the solenoid. The power terminals to the battery and the starter are large and have large cables. The starter switch connection is much smaller. Turning the key to 'start' provides a low current voltage to the solenoid causing the solenoid relay to close and power from the battery cable to connect through to the starter. If that voltage is present then the solenoid or the wiring between the solenoid and battery or solenoid and starter is suspect. If that voltage is missing then the starter switch or solenoid feed line may have failed.
How do i diagnose whats keeping my 90 ranger xlt from turning over?
Discharged or bad battery Battery cables loose or corroded Defective Starter or starter solenoid Bad Neutral or safety switch
What does it mean when your car just keep whirling over?
Starter solenoid is bad. I assume you mean engine turning over, not starting, but continuing to turn over after key is released. Disconnect battery cable from post, then replace starter solenoid.
Where is the starter relay on an 86 jetta?
there is no relay for the starter. there is a solenoid (switch) and ignition switch. the solenoid is part of the starter (small cylindrical shape above starter housing. the solenoid has the battery and ignition connections). and the ignition switch is where the car-key goes. you need at least 8v from the ignition to the solenoid for the starter to operate. use a multimeter. otherwise check your starter - battery connections. otherwise replace the starter. otherwise, take off the starter and inspect inside the starter housing. if the starter is clicking but not turning the engine the starter teeth aren't engaging with the teeth on the flywheel. get a manual to the car here: http://www.germanautoparts.com/Books/Volkswagen
The car has a strong battery power but does not start is it the starter?
it's easy to check the solenoid, put a screw driver across the large nut & the smaller one, and if the starter engages it's the solenoid .make sure the vehicle is in park, or the e- brake is on. ( with key on)
86 dodge ram 3quarter ton van with a 318 Turning key produces nothing but lights Can cross the starter Have changed battery connectors 30 amp fuse ignition switch relay starter solenoid Where next?
try the neutral safety switch on lower sreering column
How come my 1991 previa will not start?
Do lights come on when turning ignition on? If so, then you have a bad starter/solenoid/relay. If not then, you may have a bad battery or connection or ground.
What if your car wont start when turning the ignition you hear a clicking sound The radio and lights come on The starter and battery are about 4 years old?
Could be: Seized engine Weak battery loose or corroded battery cables Bad starter solenoid Bad starter Bad neutral or clutch safety switch
97 gmc pickup that keeps turning over after I remove the key. It will turn over slow. When the battery is going to die the neg wire brakes from the battery some smoke comes from the starter. Why?
Could ba a bad starter solenoid - not releasing causing starter to over heat
Can a governor on a International harvester engine stop the starter from turning over The governor makes a clicking sound when trying to start but the starter does nothing the solenoid has been change?
make sure battery cables are tight
Gm 350 and the starter keeps running on until you pull battery power have had all wiring checked all good have tryed shiming starter starter is reconed help?
I had the same thing happen to my ford 351. I had to tap on the solienoid to get the starter to stop turning over. On this particular truck the solenoid is mounted under the hood.On alot of chevys the solenoid is mounted on the starter itself.
How do you tell when your starter has gone out in 1997 Oldsmobile achieva?
The starter is just one part of the starting circuit that includes the key switch, battery, solenoid, and wiring. If any one of these parts fails, the starter won't activate. If you hear a click from the engine compartment when you turn the key to 'start' then you have a good circuit to the solenoid. The click you hear is the solenoid pushing the starter gear into the flywheel. Normally the starter motor starts turning at the same time to rotate the flywheel, which is connected to the crankshaft. If this is not happening, make sure the battery is fully charged. Check the engine compartment for burned or missing wires between the battery and the starter, or loose connections. If you hear a whirring sound from the engine compartment when you turn the key, it may be the starter gear is not engaging the flywheel and the starter motor is turning. Most modern cars have the starter and solenoid in one unit. Remove the starter and take it to an auto parts store to have it tested. Also check the gear while you have it out. Broken or worn teeth on the gear or flywheel will prevent it from turning the engine. --mark
