Either connecvt 12V directly to starter to make sure it rotates - Safely secure (a lot of torque) or bring to an auto parts store that has the ability to fully check for drag amperage draw etc. - most will do this free Yes, it is called 'bench testing' and requires that the starter be removed from the vehicle. Many repair shops and some parts shops can do a bench test cheaply, sometimes free, if the removed starter is brought to them. Firstly, after removing the starter, check the bendix gear (small gear inside the starter on a shaft) for excessive wear, cracks, or breakage. If any exists, replace the gear or entire starter as necessary. The bendix can often, but not always, be replaced by itself cheaply. Bench testing is done by securing the starter in some fashion, usually in a vise, but it can be strapped to something solid or held down with your foot (carefully, when voltage is applied the starter will want to jump, roll and twist with sometimes huge torque). Once the starter is secure, positive electricity is applied to the correct solenoid wiring stud, sometimes marked with 'S', (usually from a vehicle battery with jumper cables), and then the negative cable is touched to the starter housing. What should happen is that the bendix (small gear on the starter shaft) should fly down to the tip of the starter shaft and spin. If the bendix spins, but doesn't shoot down the shaft, the starter solenoid is bad. Replace the solenoid. This is usually cheaper than replacing the entire starter, but check both prices and judge the best action. If nothing happens at all, try a different wiring stud (if more than one is present). If still no response, the starter probably needs to be replaced. When obtaining a new starter, take the old one along for reference and possibly a confirmation bench test to determine the correct parts required.

Where is the starter located in a 99 camaro and how do you tell if the starter is the reason it won't start?

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.


How do you use starter?

remove battery terminal cables. remove positive cable from starter solenoid on top of starter. take two bolts out of starter housing attached to engine. remove starter. there's possibly a ground wire attached with one of the bolts holding the starter in. don't forget to put it back on the bolt when you put it in. bolts have 14mm or 9/16 inch head. use a socket, ratchet and extension.
