ignition switch...baterry cables...starter...ALARM????
Not to bash on the last answer, but, the starter solenoid probably isn't at fault here. If it will start with the screwdriver then the starter solenoid is functioning. It either does or it doesnt. The answer lies in circuitry back from the solenoid to the ignition switch. You could have a bad ignition switch or neutral/safety switch.AnswerDefective starter solenoid.
Check the neutral safety switch,it is located on the transmission or on the steering column ,under the dash.
Either your starter solenoid, if not check the neutral safety or clutch safety switch.
Could be as simple as being in need of a tune up.
Dead battery? Loose or dirty battery cables? Bad starter solenoid? Bad starter? Neutral switch?
The problem is almost definitely your neutral safety switch. When you jump the solenoid you are bypassing it. The problem is your starter is going and needs replacement
Could possibly be a shift solenoid ,or neutral safety switch, just suggestions.
you have trouble in the gear box.. there is no linkage adjustment
Bad neutral safety switch? Weak starter solenoid?
Neutral safety switch going bad? Starter solenoid going bad?
If the car will start in neutral but not in park then you may have a bad transmission safety switch. That switch confirms that the car is in neutral or park before it allows the 'start' signal from the key switch to reach the solenoid.
It being in neutral or park.
yes u can I've done it but i have a high idle issue if the car is in park or neutral.
Your neutral safety switch-try putting car in neutral and trying it
Seized engine? Loose or corroded battery cable? Bad starter solenoid on inner fender wall? Bad neutral safety switch? Bad ignition switch?
Neutral switch?
