What does it mean when you Replace starter and when you go to connect cables to battery the starter starts and stays on without key in ignition until you remove cable from battery?
The wires to the starter are probably connected wrong.
Your 2001 ford focus starts when it wants to and doesnt work when it wants to and you have to jump it and it starts but some days it starts just fine and you have no problems?
Loose or corroded battery cables? Loose connection at starter?
What if your car won't turn over sometimes but usually is fine. The battery has a full charge and the alternator is new. The lights don't dim you put cables on it and starts right up. Chevy Celebrity?
If it starts every time when jumper cables are attached, you're getting a poor connection from the battery to the engine. Check the battery cables, especially the negative side, at both the battery and the end attached to the engine and/or body. (Note that, if the starter were bad, it probably wouldn't start consistently with jumper cables attached.)AnswerStarter needs to be replaced. Probably stuck brushes or bad solenoid. Try hitting the side of the starter with a wrench the next time it acts up. If it starts it's stuck brushes in the starter.
If car just is clicking but does not start is that a starter problem?
it could be the starter or it could just be a bad battery, try to jump start the vehicle with another vehicle with jumper cables or a jumpbox, if the vehicle starts, most likely it is the battery. It is still a good idea to get the starter checked out.
Your Tacoma starts after clicking and the battery and starter are good so are the cables?
That usually means your cables are loose and aren't making good contact. The clicking is the arcing of the spark. Tighten your battery cable ends completely and make sure they can't spin on the posts at all.
My Tacoma won't start right off the bat It clicks and after numerous tries it starts The battery and starter are ok and the cables are in good shape Please help?
It's your starter solenoid. Toys are hard to replace just the solenoid. replace the starter!!!!!
What would be the problem if a 1997 Chrysler Sebring convertible will not start does not crank?
If the engine will not even crank, then suspect a defective battery or starter. Start by removing both battery cables and cleaning the cable connections and battery posts. Reconnect them and see if it starts. If not put a battery charger on the battery and fully charge it. If it will not accept a charge is is defective. It the vehicle starts then you may have a defective alternator. If the battery is good and it still will not start, suspect a bad starter. You will have to remove it and have it tested.
91 Lexus ls 400 and when it is cold and I start it the dash lights turn on but the starter just clicks like the battery is dead. after a few more turns the battery gains more power and starts?
Check for loose or corroded battery cables Could be starter solenoid is getting weak and needs replacing
Why when you connect the battery it makes sparks and it starts to burn the post of the battery?
Sounds like you are reversing the cables.
Why does my Camaro starts when battery is connected after replacing the starter?
you've got your wires crossed on your starter,
What starts a car?
The ignition switch completes the circuit of electricity from the battery to the starter that actually turn the engine over and starts it.The ignition switch completes the circuit of electricity from the battery to the starter that actually turn the engine over and starts it.
When it does start eventually1995 Aurora starter just clicks one time each time you turn the ignition Is this the starter failing because when it starts starts like a champdoesn't do it every time?
I would start by checking and cleaning the battery cables.Might be something as easy as that. Also I would try hooking up jumpper cables to the connections under the hood. this would elimanate the battery and all cables from under the rear seat. If it starts fine with jumpper cables trace it backward to fine bad cable. now the bad news,if none of this helps it is most likely a bad start solinoid witch is mounted on top of the starter. More bad news the starter is under the intake manifold.This is a a job to remove the manifold and injectors and wiring to get to the starter.Hopefully the lose or dirt battery cables fixes the problem. Good luck, hope this helps, Ben Parker, San Jose, Ca.
