What could cause a starter not to turn over from the ignition and also not engage fly wheel when the ignition is bypassed?

The starter is either jammed in the open position and is already engaged in the flywheel and won't retract, or the motor is just plain burned out. You will have to pull it and take it to Auto Zone where they will test it for free for you. You can pull it and test it yourself by grounding it and applying power with a FAT HEAVY INSULATED cable and see if the end flies out, but it could do so out of the car but not have the strength to do it under load. It's probably shot, sorry to say. Phil

How do you bypass a starter solenoid?
A starter solenoid can be bypassed by connecting a jumper wire between the battery and ignition posts on the starter. This will cause it to spin immediately without using the ignition switch.
How do you get power to the starter?
The positive battery cable connects directly to the starter. Depending on what type of vehicle it is, the solenoid is either on the starter or on the inner fender. Power for the solenoid comes from the ignition switch. You can run a wire to the solenoid to cause the starter to engage.
What would cause the starter to engage without the key when you hook up the battery?
Starter selenoid no good
Can a low battery cause starter not to engage?
Yes. Without sufficient charge, the starter will not have enough amperage to crank.
When will a starter fail to disengage?
A starter will not disengage if the ignition switch is stuck or if the solenoid has jammed. This will cause the starter to constantly receive power.
What would cause the starter to engage with out the key when you push in the clutch on a 95 escort LX?
I've had the same issue, It's a bad ignition switch, replace the ignition switch and you should be good to go. P.S. the ignition switch is located under the steering column, it's held in by 2 screws, but it can be a hassle to remove.
Can a car be started with a screwdriver?
Yes, by using it to short the solenoid. It's dangerous and can cause fire. You can engage the starter with a screwdriver and crank the engine over but you would still have to "hot wire" the ignition system to run the engine.
What if the ignition switch starts the starter and the engine run but unfortunately starter continues running what is the cause of this?
Probably a stuck solenoid.
Can the wear on the key for a 1989 Cadillac Eldorado cause the car to not start properly?
It can cause the ignition lock cylinder to not turn. If it turns then the key is not why it will not start. Look into the ignition switch, starter, battery, or connections.
What would cause a car not to start after replacing the starter?
I had the same problem. I took it to a mechanic and they told me it was the ignition switch.
