maybe a loose ground to the starter or the bend-ix may be in a bind with the flywheel

Starter, battery, battery connections, neutral switch,
What would indicate that the ignition relay is bad on an automobile?
Your ignition relay might be bad if you have good power at the battery, but nothing happens at the starter when you turn the key, all the lights light up and everything appears normal, but the starter will not engage. You may also hear a click when turning the key to start, but nothing else.
Why wont my Chrysler turn on but the battery and starter are good while ignition lights wont even turn on inside?
If the battery is good and the starter is good, then you must have a wire disconnected somewhere.
You Turn ignition keyhave lights and radio but no engine turnover?
Seized engine? Weak battery? Corroded or loose battery cables? Bad starter or starter solenoid? Bad neutral or clutch safety switch? Bad ignition switch?
On a 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme why won't the engine start It isn't the battery or the starter you thought maybe it was the flywheel however you just wanted some other opinions Please help?
If the engine will not turn over, it is either the battery or the starter. Turn on the headlights and then have someone try to start the vehicle while you look at the headlights. If the lights go dim, the battery is bad. If they do not, you have a problem with the starter. Remove the starter and have it tested. The flywheel would only be the problem if you hear the starter engage and spin. That can be a broken tooth on the flywheel, or a bad starter drive gear. If the starter does not engage at all and you hear no click, you may have a bad ignition switch.
WHY IS MY CAR IS NOT TURNING ON COULD IT BE THE PULLEY?
Can be a dead battery, defective starter, loose or corroded battery connection, or blown main fuse. If nothing comes on when you turn on the ignition switch and your interior lights are not working it is not the starter.
What is something to check on a 2000 Kia Sephia if you can get no power throughout the car No lights stereo starter etc?
Battery? Ignition switch?
Your BMW makes a clicking sound when ignition switch is on lights working and radio on what do you need to do to get it started?
first thing to check is the battery cables, corrosion will allow enough current for lights but not enough to engage the starter, once the terminals and cables are cleaned and tightened go to where the positive cable is connected to the starter and make sure it is clean and tight, then there is a smaller wire also going to the starter, same for it. If nothing helps have the battery tested, then remove the starter and have it tested as well before replacing either one
Why does a 1998 Honda Accord not make a sound but the lights come on when I turn the key in the ignition?
Loose or corroded battery cables? Weak battery? Bad neutral or clutch safety switch? Bad starter? Bad starter solenoid?
Why would my lights work but my 2000 dodge ram 1500 won't start?
If the lights are bright, the starter may have failed. If the lights are dim and the starter turns over slowly (RRRRrrr . . .) the battery my need to be charged. If the lights are bright and the starter cranks normally, failures in the ignition system may be the cause. The engine needs a strong battery with clean, tight connections, fuel and spark. You are missing one of those.
Can the battery be bad if the lights are working?
Yes... there could be sufficient charge to power the lights or other minor power consuming devices but still have insufficient power to engage the starter. Best bet is to take the battery to an auto parts store and have checked.
What if 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 4 years old?
Could be: Seized engine Weak battery loose or corroded battery cables Bad starter solenoid Bad starter Bad neutral or clutch safety switch
