When you try to start your truck the lights go dim and it makes a grinding sound but will not turn over The starter is only two months old Could this be only the battery or is the starter bad too?

Sounds like it could be a bad earth, i would check the connections going to the starter and clean them up with sandpaper or similer and try that.

You had the battery and starter replaced now your headlights do not work what could be the problem?
Interesting?? I had my starter and battery replaced on my 2002 Saturn VUE and within a few months my low beams ands daytime running lights went out. Dealer says the post in the fuse block is burnt and the entire block needs to be replaced at a cost of over $600.

ATV won't start even when I jump it. Who can give suggestion?
I have a 1994 Polaris 4x4 with a battery that is about 9 months old and it won't start. I can hear the cylinoid clicking which is next to the battery. I have tried to jump the battery, but have no change in the results. The lights seem nice and bright so I don't think the battery is dead. I am leaning towards a starter problem, is this correct?
How long do mag lights last?
"Mag lights are very strong and can last for months. With regular daily use though because you are draining the batteries, you will probably have to replace the battery."
Why your 1988 Toyota Camry engine wont turn over replaced starter and the car initially started and drove but next day car wouldn't turn over lights and radio do come on?
I am having this problem right now, the battery is 2 months old, changed the starter 2 days ago, and drove it tonight. I just had to get a ride home when I turned the key I heard a click, the radio and lights and door beeping thing all came on. I'm thinking of the starter relay or something else. That just leaves me with the question where is the starter relay located in the car.
Why does 1998 dodge neon have power everywhere but starter is dead starter is new and worked for 2 months?
Sounds like a defective starter, but check your battery cables and connections. Make sure you are getting power at the starter when you turn the key to the start position. Could be a relay too.

Problem starting a 1994 Mitsubishi galant starter is 2 months old turn key nothing happens sometimes start when you play with it for a while new battery post and still won't start battery got fire.?
Hi, I think you should check your car alternator and starter. It is common problems
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 2 months old what do you think?
AnswerDid you buy the battery from new or was it a spare? Clicking sound when trying to turn key in ignition is usually low battery. The radio and lights may still work for a few minutes if there is enough charge left but the engine wont turn over. Turn off all lights, alarm and radio - wait 20minutes and try to turn engine over. Or failing that do what I've said below:Get someone to jump start your car with jumper leads. Once its running, drive your car around for half hour to one hour to re-charge battery. If fault isn't with battery then it could be alternator or spark plugs. Dodgy spark plugs can cause the car not to start.AnswerYou probably have a loose connection or corrosion. Clean battery terminals and ends of wires.Answertry the starter solenoidAnswerMake sure your battery posts are clean and the cable connectors are clean & tight. If this is not problem don't have another answer.ANSWERYou might have to replace the ignition swith.
Car wont start battery is only a few months old sounds like it wants to turn over but doesn't?
Check the charge on the battery, it may be faulty even though its not old. If the battery is charged then the starter motor may be old, brushes wear out over time.
About 3 months ago your car wouldnt start it was making a clicking noise so you bought a new starter your car was fine for a few days then wouldn't start again you bought a new battery and the car has?
it needed a new battery duhh
Why does your car battery last 7 months?
In all likelihood there is something wrong with your car's charging system so that the battery is not being kept charged. It is also possible that some load, such as a glove box light is staying on, causing the battery to be continuously discharged and recharged which would weaken it. It is also possible that your starter is bad, causing excessive current to be pulled during cranking, which would damage your battery. Never replace a battery, starter, or alternator without having a professional comprehensive evaluation of the status of all three components, because they are all interrelated.
