It will give a heavy dashing sound

Another Answer:Well, actually...

Often a starter gives no warning, but when it does, below are a few possibilities.

  • The solenoid does not engage. You may hear the starter "click", but if the contact has failed, the starter may not operate.
  • It may operate more slowly, even though you've tested the battery and know that it is functioning properly.
  • It may become intermittent, with the starter occasionally spinning freely and not engaging the engine.

Unfortunately, some of the indications of a failing starter are also the indication of a failing battery. Have the battery and charging system tested at a local auto parts retailer that provides that service. OReilly and Auto Zone will both test your battery and charging system, without removing anything from the vehicle, for free, provided that they aren't overly busy, and can afford the luxury of sending an associate out to your car.
