Why wont your 95 Mitsubishi galant not turn over with a new starter battery and ignition switch?

Answer 1

Answerdouble check you work , make sure everything was reconected in to their rightful place . try checking for power at the starter. try it with a remote starter if that works the problem may be with the switch or somewhere along that line. also try removing all the spark plugs and try to turn the engine over watch that nothing comes out thru the spark plug holes if anything comes out you may have a rare but possible hydro lock.("water lock") this happens when too much antifreeze falls in to the cilynders preventing the pistons from moving.

THESTARTING SYSTEM CONSISTS OF THE 1) BATTERY, 2) STARTER MOTOR, 3) SOLENOID, 4) IGN. SWITCH, 5) CIRCUIT PROTECTION AND 6) THE WIRING. IN AUTOMATICS, THERE IS AN INHIBITER SWITCH LOCATED IN HE "PARK-NEUTRAL" SAFETY SWITCH OR "TR SENSOR" (TRANSMISSION RANGE) TO PREVENT STARTING IN GEAR.

CHECK THE STARTER CONNECTIONS-MAKE SURE THE SOLENOID WIRE IS GOOD AND CONNECTED (TIGHTLY). CHECK UNDER THE HOOD IN THE FUSIBLE LINK BOX. THE #1 IS A 30A IGNITION SWITCH FUSIBLE LINK. DURING YOUR WORK ON THE STARTER, IF THE BATTEY WAS NOT DISCONNECTED, YOU MAY HAVE "GROUNDED OUT THE STARTER OR ACCIDENTLY TOUCHED THE BATTERY WIRE TO THE SWITCH LINK AND "BLOWN" THE FUSIBLE LINK.

THE ENGINE NOT "TURNING" OVER MEANS THAT THERE IS A CURRENT "INTERRUPTION" TO THE STARTER MOTOR. REMEMBER HERE-WHEN YOU TURN THE IGN. KEY, A 12V SIGNAL IS SENT TO THE SOLENOID TO ENGAGE AND THEN THE STARTER MOTOR GETS A 12V POWER FROM THE BATTERY TO POWER THE STARTER.. IF YOU FOLLOW THE WIRING IN THE SYSTEM, YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE IS A WIRE OFF THE + SIDE OF THE BATTERY TO THE FUSIBLE LINK BOX THAT GOES TO THE 30A LINK. THE WIRE THAT LEADS FROM THE LINK GOES TO THE STARTER. IF THIS LINK IS BAD, THE STARTER IS DEAD WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED.
