if its a sportster evo and all you hear when pressing start button is a clicking from under the seat chances are the starter relay needs replacing, take off the seat, undo the retaining bolt, unplug the relay and take it to any auto electrical supplies and get it matched, (or you could go to your local hd dealer, but add a 0 to the price)

What could the problem be with my 1991 Chevy pickup 1500 only starts when it wants to I already had the starter and solenoid checked will not start when hot?

Since the starter is good but will not turn the engine over when hot, check the engine for free rotation. Turn the engine over by moving the crank by hand (with the ignition off.) The engine could be sticking when hot and not be able to turn over.

Your 99 stratus has power but will not turn over at all What could be the problem?

Turn on your headlights and have someone watch them when you try to crank the engine. If the headlights dim, then you probably have an engine problem. If they do not dim, you could have a blown fuse or the starter solenoid contacts could be worn out. The are replaceable on some starters. I am unsure on this particular starter. If you are a proficient mechanic, go to your local parts store and ask if sell the solenoid contacts for your car. You may need to buy a new or rebuilt starter. If you need a starter, I would recommend finding a local starter rebuild shop. Their product is generally better and they will support it better.

Why my 2000 crown Victoria won't start I change the starter?

There could be quite a few reasons why the car won't start. If cranking or turning over the engine is the problem and the starter is good, it may be the battery. If the engine turns over but won't start you have bigger problems...


I have replaced the starter on my 1991 S10 but it still won't start could it be a problem with the crank sensor?

Then why did you replace a perfectly good starter? ALWAYS test old parts and know what you're doing BEFORE you start throwing new parts at a problem. Find out WHY it isn't starting. Does the starter engage and turn the engine? IF it does, then the starter is probably fine. If not, check the starter, battery, electrical connections, ignition switch and neutral safety switch. If the starter has ALWAYS engaged and turned the engine, you should not have changed the starter in the first place; instead, you should be finding out what's wrong.

Why does the starter keep turning when the button is released on a 84 harley Davidson?

You could have a sticking solenoid on the starter, you could have a defective starter button, or your solenoid wires may be set up in a way that causes the current to ark between points when it's not supposed to.


If your 91 Honda Accord will not start and the battery is new what could be the cause of the problem?

It could either be a starter gone bad or it could be a bad cylinoid. If the starter motor does not spin that would cause the engine not to turn over. The best thing is to buy the cylinoid first then if that does not work replace the starter motor. It never hurts to replace both.
