If the starter is bad no. Check battery, starter and solenoid to be sure which is bad.
No
1. bad starter selenoid 2. blown fuse in the circuit 3. bad ground at the starter (not likely, but possible) Start at the starter, with a test light, and work your way back through the curcuit until you find power. That's where the problem will be. If the starter has no power move to the selenoid. If the selenoid had no power in the switch circuit move to the fuse. If the selenoid has no power on the battery side move to the fusable link. Keep working your way to the ignition switch.
Probably a bad starter solenoid.
No. A bad starter would cause the car not to start.
Bad starter-we can only speculate
Could be the battery is drained or bad. Could be battery connections at battery and or starter are dirty and or loose. Could be starter solenoid is bad. Could be starter is bad.
Loose connection? Bad starter (flat spot)? Bad starter solenoid?
Bad starter, bad flywheel/ring gear, bad starter/flywheel alignment.
The starter could be bad. Or the battery. The starter could be bad. Or the battery.
Usually when a starter solenoid/relay switch is bad, you will hear only a click and the starter will not spin (crank).
