It’d be better if you show the actual sound that the car makes, you explain how to fix the problem well but I’m not sure if it’s the same clicking sound my car is making lol. I’ve heard other TH-camrs do the clicking sound with their mouth then they show their car sound and it’s completely different than my car :s
When the starter stops turning over every time but just some of the time.... the issue is the copper contacts inside the solenoid becomes pitted from sparking. Take the starter off...take the solenoid off and disassemble it. Sand down the large round copper pads smooth. Put it all back together. This would make a good video to make
I think this might be happening to mine. I bought a new starter put it on and a month later I tried to crank just got one click my battery is new and alternator is good. The starter even though said it's new might be a bad starter.
The clicking could be from low voltage from weak battery and/or bad connections, and the solenoid is a large switch for large current amps, not voltage. Your continuity test is not under load which may show it as ok, but under load the contacts may not pass current from pitted contacts but read ok on multimeter. But it's a place to start.
@@elaineclementsfinn1872 I'm having this issue on my Hiace. I haven't got a multimeter yet but when I half turn the key I can't use both the radio and headlights. This tells me it's the battery but it's fully charged and the connections all seem in good order. I have been having issues with my viper alarm though which is throwing me off. Not keen on forking out for a starter motor if it isn't the issue.
sir I have the same problem though mine will start with 1 click then other time 3 to 4 clicks .... when it's cracking it directly through... not weak but strong . thank u for your video hope you can add some tips.
I just want to say that you are an excellent teacher. I know a fair amount about car repair and have replaced a number of starters in my day, but never have I heard someone so thoughtfully and thoroughly explain the difference between the 2 housings, their functions, the steps to test continuity, what it means, and how to verify you are placing the test leads in the correct places. I learned something by watching you and I'm sure that people with less experience at this than me will be thrilled that they were able to pick up this very valuable information in the correct way from a qualified, very well versed source. I think we all, at some point in our lives, will hear that dreaded "click" when we turn our key. You have made a fan out of me. Super job!
What car is he working on? I need help ASAP with my vehicle the mechanic is giving me the runaround and wasting my money that I don’t have less the president is giving me another stimulus
HA ! ..... before you go and take the starter/solenoid assembly out of the car, remove the battery and have it LOAD tested. Do the easy things first and save yourself some headaches ! A battery that is on its "last leg" will make your solenoid "click" (and do nothing else) every time you try to start the car!
Well done video. Just one thing mentioned which is not correct. The terminal referred in the video as negative is not really a negative, it is the point of supplying 12 volt to he starter motor when at the moment of cranking via the solenoid contact. There is no negative terminal in starters, the starter body is what supply negative to the starter.
Ok so would this maybe be why for some reason when my car decides not to start , I get it to start only by hooking up a battery starter with the positive clamp on the negetive battery terminal ?? I dont even know why I did that but I figured this out by accident lol. Does this make sense to you ?
In my case, it turns out nothing was faulty: i followed the wire from the battery to the solenoid, and.... it was loose! Not loose enough to fall off, but loose enough for intermittant starts. So yeah, check your wires!
Not sure this test diagnosis a stuck solenoid … the electrical continuity will still test good as you demonstrate but if the solenoid is stuck the armature will never get full juice from the battery.
I need to put my two cents in as a mechanic of 30 years both on cars and airplanes here it goes the information given on this video is very good it's accurate but to let you know I understand people come to TH-cam because they're either fixing their own cars or they cannot afford a car repair bill don't let these things scare you all cars make noises for one reason or another and a lot of mechanics will rip you off they'll tell you it's something major when all it is is something very minor and ignore car shield your missions light will come on your sensor routinely checks or problems sensors excuse me if you want to spend $500 on a loose connection go right ahead again this information is very useful for people that fix cars but for the lay person avoid the big mechanics like Firestone they'll work you off find somebody that you can make arrangements with through referral a decent mechanic good luck

I have a 1995 f 350 7.3 L diesel. It suddenly would not crank. All I heard was a single click. After trying few things with no luck, I then hot wired a piece of wire to the + post on the battery and then I touched the other end to the S terminal (that has thin red wire , the trigger wire connected ) on the starter solenoid, The starter cranked and ,the engine started. I Single click didn't mean the solenoid was bad. ... Still trying to figure out why the trigger wire is not getting power.
Touching the starter body and S connector for continuity is the same as touching the negative and S connector because the negative is ground with the car body.
Continuity or resistance test may be a good indicator of whether a part or conductor is bad or has failed, but is not necessarily an accurate way to tell if the part or connection is good or functioning properly. Resistance or continuity is checked with a circuit not under a load. For more accurate results even voltage testing should be performed while circuit is activated rather than in a static state. Voltage drop or amperage draws are more reliable and better indicator of whether the system is functioning properly or experiencing adverse conditions.
Help . Used portable jumper took a bit but then I have lights radio but when I turn key it just clicks it taps alot when I turn key . Won't start .

I have a 350z - I turn the key - it lights up but nothing. I checked the battery - good and it's new - I checked the fuses - looks good. I checked all the relays - good - I checked the clutch safety switch on the clutch - little button - good - I even put in a jumper - still nothing. The clutch safety switch did break and I put alligator clips to bypass the switch and the car started --- However, now with even alligator clips, it won't start. ---------------------------- I am thinking -- could the switch have been fine and it was just the starter all this time? My car is a 2005 but it only has about 33k on the engine/car. I will try this tester - could the starter cause the car to just turn the key and nothing but every electrical thing in the car works?

I have a similar problem on my car. Yesterday I tried to turn it on and when I turn the key, only one click is heard and the engine does not turn, I tried many times and every time only that one click is heard and the car will not turn to try to start. the battery is new and excellent and that is not the reason. after that I tried to push the car only half a meter forward and sat in it and turned the key and the car immediately started normally, I turned it on and off without any problem 20 times in a row, the whole day wherever I went the car started normally, The next day I sat in the car to go to work and suddenly I turned the key and again the click sound, the car does not start. I push the car 1 m forward, sit in it, close the door, turn the key and start it without any problems.. I don't know why it happens, do you maybe know or suspect something? will I constantly have to manually push the car forward a few centimeters for it to start after that? thank you in advance for your help!!
that was an awesome video. exactly what i was looking for... but can you explain why the s lead has continuity with the larger solenoid, or why with no continuity the starter us bad

Having intermittent starting issues with a CLICK as I turn key. Seems to start fine cold but as car gets hot, I can get the no start condition. Is solenoid getting overheated and temporarily failing? Will seem to start if car cools.
This is not a proper test... The solenoid might be working , but if the contacts inside of it are coroded , or burnt from use , it will not spin the motor ... this test doesnt do anything except prove that the windings in the solenoid are bad which is almost never the case.Bridge the positive terminal with the wire going to the motor and see if it spins
In my car electrician change solenoid and install relay for starter motor but still click sound coming and car is not starting, kindly explain what could be wrong and needs repair
You only test the coil windings in the starter, if that is bad it won't even click, secondly you forgot to check the switch inside that closes when the plunger is engage, that sends the voltage from the battery terminal to the motor
My tractor didnt start after i came back from the store and it said ratatatt for a while but after a while only clicked once we jump started it and i got home and tested batterys and theyre full so is it the solenoid
Thanks for this video. I currently have a 2012 Dodge Durango Citadel. My Durango has a V8 engine and the check engine light started coming on. It started sputtering/misfiring and driving like it had no power. The Dodge dealership found code P0562: Activation control code MDS solenoid--bad cylinder six(located the pistones). I was also told need to replace the gaskets (top ones). My Durango only has 66,726 miles on it. I checked with Dodge about any recalls and they are no recalls on this issue, however, Google is showing a number of Durango owners with this same problem.
I'm pretty sure 1 click means a bad relay, or the wiring leaving the relay is bad. There should be a relay somewhere between your starter and the battery. Both the relay and the starter click. So if you hear one click and not two, I think that means power is making it to the relay, but not from the relay to the starter. I'm about to go troubleshoot my own no-start tomorrow. 99% sure its a bad start motor/solenoid, so I have a new one on hand in case the hammer trick doesnt work. I tried ordering a new relay as well, just in case my diagnoses was wrong. Sadly, Mitsubishi cancelled the order and told me those relays are out of stock, with an indefinite eta... Meaning its basically unobtanium, at least from OEM. Fingers crossed it's not a relay.
Can you make a video showing how to hook up and use a remote starter switch correctly to crank a vehicle when a helper is not around to crank the vehicle sir? It will be a great and very helpful video!
Okay, what if it has good battery (all terminals are clean good cables and all), good starter relay, there is continuity between S terminal and big cylinder and negative bolt on the solenoid but it only clicks once??. also I was able to rotate the crank I didn't feel any force. will that mean it has a bad stater? Mine is hard to remove so I wanted to make sure before removing it. Thank you.

What if it's intermittent? Sometimes you have tone, sometimes you don't? A ghost? It's not always that simple
Good question. I also wondered, as my starter occationally works, occationally don't.
Means theres a bad electrical contact somewhere. Either inside the solenoid, relay, ground, or wiring itself.
Or at least, thats the most likely.

Okay, what if it has good battery (all terminals are clean good cables and all), good starter relay, there is continuity between S terminal and big cylinder and negative bolt on the solenoid but it only clicks once??. also I was able to rotate the crank I didn't feel any force. will that mean it has a bad stater? Mine is hard to remove so I wanted to make sure before removing it. Thank you.
did you need new starter motor?
@@empiresrikesfat Yes the starter motor was bad.
SOL-enoid. Not SILL-enoid. Sheesh.
Is it a solenoid if I hear only one 'click'?
Just curious, why do you always say "we made a video"? Are you not the only one who makes and edits these videos?
IT IS NOT A SILLYNOID... IT IS A SOLENOID!!!! SOL IH NOID!!
Bastard just died in mine
Thank you I’m in class right now and I forgot completely how to check the solenoid
Great explanation 👍 It worked for me, THANKS 🙂
Great to hear!
@@CarsNToys where do I connect my voltmeter to do a voltage drop test to verify my starter motor is bad? I’ve been told it’s quite simple to do. Please explain
Uhh it's pronounced solenoid not silinoid.
Do you need to disconnect battery for this test?
Lol
Solenoid mats not silly noid
Only clicks once if it dosent start
