starter motor need overhaul
Replace the starter
The starter drive has broken, replace starter.
The starter on your 1996 Chevy 2500 4x4 may not engage due to several potential issues. Common causes include a faulty ignition switch, a dead battery, or corroded battery terminals that prevent sufficient power from reaching the starter. Additionally, a malfunctioning starter solenoid or worn-out starter motor could also be to blame. It's recommended to check these components systematically to identify the root cause of the problem.
If the starter spins but won't engage, then the Bendix is not engaging the flywheel. Remove the starter and test to see if the Bendix thrusts out, and check to see that the flywheel does not have chipped teeth.
If there is complete silence when the key is turned, try tapping the solenoid on the starter with a hammer. Don't laugh. I have found this to be the solution in several cases. This is sure proof that the starter solenoid is the problem. You will want to install a new starter which comes with a new solenoid before you get stranded.
thanks how many holding blots and where bad bendix (starter drive) if the spring in the starter bendix is weak or broken it will not engage the flywheel; but the starter will turn normally. bad thing is ,you have to pull the starter..good luck..
1. To engage the starter with the ring-gear on the engine before the starter is turned on. IE to "pre-engage" it. 2. To turn the starter on once it is Engaged. This prevents/reduces damage to the gear-teeth on both the starter and the ring gear.
Toyota previa starter motor wont engage
Starter selenoid no good
Aplly battery voltage to it, it should jump, engage.
What do you mean when you say it doesn't engage? Is the starter spinning but just doesn't catch to spin the engine? IF that's the case it could be as simple as a loose starter or as bad as a damaged flex plate/flywheel. But it would most likely be the starter.
