Don't be too hasty to replace the ignition. They VERY RARELY go bad. Check ALL the fuses first. Not just the ones under the dash. There might be some in the engine compartment. (I don't know whether or not there is any there, but double check anyway.) Analyze the cause of the problem before pulling anything apart. It will only save you work and expense in the end.

It could be a bad battery, or connection. A bad starter and or solenoid could be the problem, along with an ignition switch to name a few.

The starter solenoid near the battery should be checked.

Check your battery. Usually when you get the clicking sound that means the battery is dead or in need of charge.

1999 Saturn SC1 that won't start it turns all the way over and nothing happens My battery is good i was told that maybe it could the starter solenoid?

If the starter is engaging and the starter is able to turn the engine normally, there is nothing wrong with the solenoid. Instead, I'd look at fuel, ignition and compression.

Nothing.


How do know if starter is bad?

You usually can suspect that the starter is bad if you turn the ignition key and nothing happens. You hear a clicking sound but the engine does not turn over. The dash lights should come on.

Where is the starter on a 1974 VW Thing located The dash lights light up when the ignition is switched on and i can hear a faint clicking noise but nothing else happens The battery is fully charged?

The starter is on the passinger side rear,under the Thing and is attached to the transaxle.The starter solenoid might not be moving then you try to start the Thing. The solenoid moves forward and engages(turns) the flywheel thus turning over the engine. Remove the starter and have it checked.
