Maybe, without knowing what kind of car and engine it is impossible to say.
Did you put a starter on it ? If so, Then you have put the starter wires in the wrong place are you have the big battery wire touching the small wire that goes to the starter. Recheck the wiring on the starter.
well i dont know exactly where the starter is but you should be able to see it under the car around where the tranny bellhousing meets the engine at the fly wheel(auto) or flex plate(manual) either on the left or right side. if the car is not turning over at all then you can put a jumper from the battery to the starter solenoid and that should kick the starter on if it doesnt then you starter/solenoid is bad. but if you car turns over but doesnt start then your starter is fine.
i have a 2007 chevy cobalt.it only has 17000 miles on it. i had a remote car starter put in a year and ahalf ago. i never had a problem. now when i start my car it makes a clicking noise.the noise goes away after a few seconds and i can still drive the car.
Forget the ignition switch for now it is most likely not your problem. I assume a no-start.First have assistant turn on headlamps while you observe from front of car. As you observe, have them try to start car. Did the headlamps light? Did they glow less as the car was cranked? No headlamps or dim headlamps whilw cranking indicate a battery, battery connection, battery cables. Clean or replace these. If headlamps were bright then we can look at the starter. Raise vehicle safely, block rear wheels, put in park. Go under car and take a screwdriver and short across the starter terminals. A bad starter will only spark. If we determine starter is bad, remove the negative battery cable. Under car, observe the size of wrenches needed and then remove the 2 or 3 wires on starter, 2 or 3 starter bolts and any brackets that are in the way. Once unbolted, the starter will be easy to remove. Take it to a auto store that tests these free ,just to reconfirm it is bad. Reverse the procedure.

Boat... starter... huh..?
if you go to www.autozone.com it will give you directions on how to put the starter on.
yes!! by the starter and put it in!
Yes but it varies from car to car
The starter in a boat is sealed so that it can't ignite an explosion of fumes in the bilge. You could put a boat starter in a car, but it would be very dangerous to put a car starter in a boat.

The starter on a 1998 GMC Sonoma is replaced by disconnecting the battery, removing the outer cover, and unbolting it from the engine. The wiring harness can then be disconnected, the starter removed, and a new one put in place.
you put it in the car
It usually takes between 1 and 2 hours to put a new starter on a car. This includes removing the old one and hooking up the new one.
Is there power to the starter "S" terminal? What car?
roughly around 30mins
un hook the negitve on the battery. then unhook all the wires from the back of the starter solenoid. then put the two bolts that hod the starter to the block, should be out after that.
