Note: these notes will apply to American made cars from the early 60’s to the late 80’s, or 90’s. I left the Auto Parts industry at that time, working on my own cars only. I lost touch with the industry when I went back to school and became an engineering technician in electronics. When you hear a starter spinning and it doesn’t drop in RPM, the starter bendix is most likely the problem.the bendix is what engages with the flywheel. It is clutch driven, the clutch being like the one on a mini bike in that when it engages the flywheel and starter is spinning a sprang clutch makes the bendix spin in only one direction. If the bendix is bad it won’t drive the flywheel and allow the starter motor to spin free. If the bendix engages the flywheel gear and the motor spins but doesn’t have enough energy to turn the engine over, either you have a bad battery or a starter that is failing. In that case you can put a volt meter, ( or a multimeter set to dc volts from set at 20 volts or so), and have a friend crank the engine. Typically the voltage with drop to about 9 or 10. Lots while the starter is cranking. If it drops further and the battery load test fine, check the battery cables. If they show little to no resistance they are ok and the terminals are clean the starter is probably at fault. if it clicks either the battery voltage is too low to or is bad. If the battery load test good then the starter solenoid is suspect. On early GM engines the solenoid sits on the starter motor like the starters in the video, and they can be changed independent of the starter motor. Two screws and a tab are all the hold it in place. Some older solenoids had copper on both sides of the contact disc inside the solenoid. Since these are not available as rebuilt units I would take them apart and turn the contact disc around so that there are clean contact surfaces to transfer voltage to the starter motor. But before going nuts you can check the primary windings for continuity with a multimeter, or read the resistance of those windings. They are basically an electromagnet the pulls the piston attached to the starter bendix into the flywheel. If those windings have burned up the start will do nothing except help hold the front wheels on the ground. The assembly is basically dead weight until a new solenoid is installed. On Fords a separate solenoid is mounted on the Passenger side fender well and are easy to replace. Chrysler has their solenoid mounted internally. They are inside the starter. I’ve never bothered to replace those, but have seen very few failures because Chrysler start motors use gear reduction to ease the load on the starter motor, giving them an advantage over other brands.
Got a problem with my truck struggling to start. Sometimes it fires up fine, other times it struggles but starts. Last night it failed entirely to start - it *almost* started on attempt 1, but attempts 2 and 3 produced a single click. It then started flawlessly after sitting for about five minutes, but the check engine light was suddenly on. I'm willing to bet money the light will be off tomorrow when I start it up, if it starts at all. I experience no problems with the vehicle's other electrical systems at any point during these incidents.
If it's cranking and almost starting then the issue isn't the starter. Starter would give you a no crank issue. So you either have an issue with your fuel system or the ignition system.
@@8020Media Since the other night, the engine has started just fine every single time. Unfortunately, when it started working again, it also suddenly kicked on the check engine light. I pulled the code, and it's for the ignition control module. You called it.
I put the key in the ignition lights came on then turned the key, no crank no lights just completely shut off we jumped the car, I took it to get the battery tested at 2 different auto zones and they said the battery and alternator is fine but 1 store said it was the starter but before I spend 300$ on a starter I wanted to get someone else’s opinion if you don’t mind, thank you sir 💯🙏

Question for you. If you test the saterter and it tests good. Now remove the wire between the motor and solenoid. Re-energize the signal wire. Obviousluly.the motor won't run, but why doesn't the solenoid work and retract back and push out the drive? Solenoid will not respond without a the motor hooked up! Why? I think if you remove the solenoid from starter , ground at a mounting screw, apply constant 12v on battery + post on solenoid and energize signal wire. The solenoid should retract back! But they won't. Why not?
@@ChadVanryn NO, I'm saying if you remove the actual load (starter motor). Why will a solenoid not actuate / push out drive if the actaul motor isnt working.
Great video chief, you share good information as I was getting the rapid click and no start, I changed the starter, it worked for few days and the rapid clicking is back and it does not start...so, I'll keep trying all the issues that you pointed out. Thanks for sharing.
E - Sorry to hear this. Hopefully you figure out the issue. This video could be helpful: th-cam.com/video/0YRdzJbHcm4/w-d-xo.html Thanks for the feedback!
Thank u for the detailed explanation. Mine the electronic window and all works but no click sound and car wont start. Changed the starter all good, working.
Thank you. I found the video helpful for diagnosing the issue with my car not starting. In my case, when I turn on the ignition, the dashboard lights come on as usual, but the engine won't start-there's no clicking or cranking sound. Sometimes, it will start if I knock on the fuel pump. What would you suggest I do in this situation?
Thank you. I thought it was my srarter but didn't really know. But this is very educational. Gives me knowledge and advantage when I have to take it for repair. Women are taken advantage of at repair shops. ❤
I pulled my starter fulling expecting to replace it and noticed the small wire had broken off the clip that attaches to the solenoid. Did the best I could to reattach it, saved $150.
Thanks! Car died and I could not turn the ignition over and there was no sound. Battery checked out good and I replaced the alternator the week before. Hopefully this narrows it down to a bad started. Got it towed back to the house. Looks like a few hours to replace it on a Chevy Colorado 2015.
just replaced my batterey not 3 months ago and barely drive my car, went to go turn it on today and it just clicked, i tried to turn it on quite a few times but now my lights wont turn on, i read afterward that trying to turn on a car with a bad starter can rapidly drain the battery, do yall think its the starter??
I’m getting all my lights and radio turn on but when I turn my key to start nothing happens at all no noise nothing, but my car has been starting no problems at all and this morning it just didn’t start, can a starter just die out of nowhere?
It could for sure if the solenoid seized up or something. But I wouldn't jump to that conclusion very quickly...check the basics...I'd start with looking at the fuses and checking the battery.
My car won’t start unless I jump start it then it will start up just fine for the rest of the day but the locks on my keys sometimes won’t work that’s how I know my car is not going to start but if the lock button on my keys unlock my doors than I know my car is going to start what could that be or mean?
My explorer does the rapid clicking and occasionally will start up. I hook a jump starter up to it, and it fires right up, but as soon as i shut it off, the clicking comes back.
i should’ve tried the battery test cause my car has trouble starting on the first start of the day but once it’s heated up it has no trouble starting just like if it had no issues so probably is a battery
My 2006 impala struggles to start but has power. Once the car is running it has no problems but the moment I turn the car off & try to turn it back on it’ll give me issues. Sometimes it won’t turn on sometimes it’ll turn on slowly after holding the key for a slight longer.
Thank you! The comment about the starter being in an area prone to oil leak discharge has been a huge clue to solving my problem. My 2009 civic si starts intermittently and has gotten progressively worse, yet whenit starts, its as if no problem ever existed. I was thinking of changing the clutch switch, etc. The seemingly unphased response from the car when it does start convinced me its not the starter. its true and not true. My car has had a code P2647 ( something like that) and is leaking oil around that specific sensor. The code has changed to P2646. Today i noticed an even bigger oil leak. SO my theory is that this problem ive delayed has caused this worse starting problem by spraying the starter motor with oil. We shall see how it turns out.
If you see a battery draw when car is off CAN that still be a starter problem. (Battery shows draw when it is shut off). Thanks for any insight. 2004 Honda Crv.
I have a weird issue myself. Been changing out parts on my Mitsubishi to get it back on the road. Yesterday I had changed the input shaft speed sensor so I had to remove battery tray etc.. well it started back up and drove really well. This morning I come out to test drive again and I turn the key.. no crank.. battery is brand new lights radio work but when you turn it over you see the power drain and you hear a whirling noise but nothing else. I’m lost no codes because I just had took battery off for extended period
Praying my starter is bad and not something wrong with the anti theft system on my 97 ford ranger. It acted like a dead battery about 1 out of 3 times trying to start over the last week. Just get a CLICK when trying to turn the key. I was able to push it and bump start it okay (luckily its a stick). Checked the battery is putting out 12.5v and when I bump start and get it running, alternator is putting out 14.2v. Also checked the solenoid is getting power, it sparks when you put a wrench across it.
Sometimes my Nissan Sentra won't start, get 1 click, everything powers off, the hit the push button once, then hit the button to start and starts up... Doesn't do it Everytime, but it's an issue, I don't know if it's the starter or what, only 2yrs old
I have a Pontiac and just recently it started struggling to fire up. Sometimes it starts up fine but once it turn it off and try again it cranks and won’t turn on. It fires up after a few attempts. Any advice on what it could be?
My n54 engine turned off while driving down the road and triggered a engine light, there is power to windows and everything else but the car won't crank and start, the car has fresh oil in it 5 months old, i do remember a couple times before the problems im having now i tried to start the engine and it would make longer cranks then starts up. I don't know what to do 2011 bmw 740li n54 .
My car was starting fine and normal then one night I went to turn it on and it just clicked. (Music, radio everything turned on) and I did it two more time and the same exact thing. Then I waited about 5 minutes and did it again and it turned on like nothing happened and I didn’t have any check engine lights on or nothing. Then the next morning came and it didn’t want to start after the first two tries and I just stopped because it was pouring down rain and I needed to get to work. Any ideas or suggestions.
My car has this issue it finally would not turn on until I gave it a jump start as soon as I gave it the jump it turned on I suspect I need a new battery I figured if it was a starter issue it would not turn on with a jump
I recently bought a 2015 Infiniti Q50 and been having problems with it starting days after buying it. Took it to Infiniti for multi point inspection and they found no problems and they suggested I remove the after market starter it has. I picked up from Infiniti and it was starting and running with no issues for almost a 3 weeks till a couple days ago it didn’t want to start but then hours later it did. Now it completely doesn’t want to start for the whole day. Ignition lights and everything come on but won’t start. When I try to start it I just hear one click.
@@shaquilefinch7401 till this day don’t know what caused it not to start. Infiniti could not find anything wrong with it either. It only did that when I started it with the push button inside the car. Now I just use the remote start and haven’t had a problem, It’s been a little over a month
When I try to start my Chevy I hear a weird low whirring and it dies out. I’ve switched out all the cartridge fuses and mini blade fuses. Replaced the battery. But I still can’t get it to start. So I’m assuming it’s the starter?
my acadia now is starting in the morning and then i will go out to a store or something and nothing no crank no nothing but all good electrical after about 10 tries it will start it’s now doing this consistently i tried to swap out the relay and still the issue is there … could it be a failing starter ? i dread this job on a 09 acadia great vids btw
Running into an issue where the car struggles to start and when it does start and I drive around for 30 min turn it off I gotta wait an hour or so before the car starts again any thoughts?
My car doesn’t start it lights up all the electricals but when I try to turn it on it switches everything off and died like a switch was flicked. Then I jump start it and it works until I try to turn it on again. Not even overnight just when it turns off. I checked the battery at autozone and it was 100 percent working they said. So idk what’s wrong
It doesn’t fail to start all the time though it’s random and inconsistent. I’ve noticed it at night mostly when I leave my car parked for 5 hours for work. It starts sometimes and other doesnt
Check your battery grounds, sometimes they’re loose and when you start your car the connection fails. I had the same thing in my Honda, would die randomly but figured it was a ground that either goes to the battery or the engine.
I got a problem on my car, it starts fine sometimes and sometimes the starter would spin (you can hear it) but it doesn't crank then you try again a few times and it starts and cranks no problem. Could it be a faulty solenoid causing the gear to not engage?
Man i changed my starter solenoid on firewall twice bc the first replacement was wrong now its not doing anything gotta be the starter yay weekend project
I did a multimeter test on the starter and it passed the test but these symptoms do sound like my starter failed. only getting one click and wont start with a jump. brand new battery but have a p1701 power supply circuit error code
My car won’t start at all. I tried to get a jump and it came on but the car never started just clicked over and over. When I took the cables off it just did start not even the lights came on
E450 super duty diesel here. All electrical works, when key is turned whirring sounds come from the starter. No clicks. Batteries are tested and full/ healthy. Any ideas??
My 2005 madza rx8 i went to go start it and it started up just fine then turned it off without letting it warm up and then went to go start it again and it wont crank or start at all. When i turn the key the radio turns off but everything else works. I have a oil leak so im gonna check if oil got on the starter, i went to jump the car and it didnt work. My battery is a couple months old and the fuses seem to all work. The car is a manual so i pop started it and it started up and didnt have any problems staying on but when i shut it back off i got the same problems no crank no start.. im thinking the starter went out...
My truck starts fine in the morning. If i turn it off after running for 20 minutes, it will start again right away, but if it sits for 30 or so minutes after running, it has a slow start. Any idea here?
My car starts every time when I turn the key. The starter doesn't really spin, but it starts immediately. My problem is it sounds like a very weak start, like it's struggling to start. Like if it didn't start right away, there wouldn't be enough "juice" to actually start it. The battery and alternator were tested and are fine. What should I check?
Car wouldn’t crank even during jump. I have stick shift and ended up giving it the good ol’ roll start. Started up and drove fine to get me home. But won’t start again so I’m guessing starter or fuse?
I own a Acura integra 1999 LS automatic. My car starts when it’s cool but then shuts off within a minute. I try turning it on again, the car won’t turn. I gave it some gas as in I press the gas pedal 5 times and then it starts and stops running on its own shortly. It’s also hard to get my car running after the 1st time turning it on. Weird thing is when I’ve my car running and remove the negative battery terminal the car runs and doesn’t turns off.
@@8020Media my battery is fine, I charge the battery and it’s at 80% with 12V. The alternator is good too because when I turn on my car and remove the negative terminal cable off the battery. The car was operating by itself for more than 3 minutes.
I just had a problem with no crank no start, and everything that I tried and troubleshot pointed to the starter and most garages would have come to the same conclusion. I ordered a new starter, and then watched a video showing how to test a starter without touching it. After I did the test, it showed that nothing at all was wrong with the starter. I then started checking fuses, and I found a blown (Transmission B+) fuse. I replaced that 5 cent fuse, and my Expedition started and ran beautifully. A garage would have charged a few hundred dollars to replace the starter when it cost only 5 cents to fix, and you did not mention anything about fuses hmmmmm.
@@8020Media It is just that a lot of garages will take advantage of people when it turns out to be something so simple. Some also don't take the time to properly diagnose a problem and try to just throw parts at it instead (I know - it has happened to me), and in the end the cost is usually always much much higher than what it would have cost if only they took the time to do a proper diagnosis. Sometimes we need only take a step back for a moment, take a deep breath, and then use common sense and rational to get to the heart of an issue - Just my opinion though :).
I have a 2016 sonata that sometimes just clicks and dashboards power surges. Battery voltages is good but just click but it does crank and fires right up when jumped. Do you believe it’s the starter?
All power in the video work, but when I turn to crank the car, I don’t hear no clicking sound, only a buzzing sound of faint buzzing sound. 2 minutes before the car stop cranking period, it start slowly cranking until it seized from cranking all together
My car only clicks once, the electrical stuff works fine and it only starts every once in a while. No signs of starter failing until now but some of this sounds like starter failure
i get the clicking noise when the choke is on so i cant start it on choke,it takes two goes but it does fire up.Is it the starter motor thats at fault?
I have a hummer H2 2004 new battery i tested the alternator its good… did the parasitic drain test and good as well my issue is that the is no click, no start, battery dies over night or in a couple of hours and the dashboard doesn’t turn on so with a dead battery and not a single click it can be the starter?
Ok, so what if I have a new battery and a rebuilt alternator. I just had an entire engine overhaul, fixed a bunch of things, replaced all belts and hoses. Lubricants, fluids flushed and replaced. I drove 300 miles yesterday, stopped a few times, everything running great, and then 1 hour left of my drive to get me home, I stopped at a rest area for 20 minutes or so, went to start the car and it tried to turn over, heard some clicks, tried again a second time, then just clicks, and then tried a third time, then nothing. Someone jumped my car, started up immediately, I drove 7 miles to the closest hotel, turned off the car, then tried again, and same thing. Then this morning, got it jumped again, drove the rest of the way to my house, drove line a champ, got home, pulled into the garage, turned off the truck. Tried to start it again, and same thing again. Tried to turn over, and couldn't. I'm so confused. Brand New battery, rebuilt alternator... I'm thinking starter?
M - So sorry to hear about your experience.. Our initial thoughts would be a starter, but we have a video on hard starts/no starts that may also be helpful: th-cam.com/video/0YRdzJbHcm4/w-d-xo.html
My ranger just had a new starter installed and it cranked up stronger than before. Now, it won’t crank at all then out of nowhere will start. Took a mallet and tapped the starter and kicked back up. Could it be something else?
My honda civic starts very well i drive it park it then it have trouble starting i wait a few minutes and it an try again an it starts what you think is the problem
What year is your Honda, I got a 2002 Honda civic ex and today I swapped out the battery bc it didn’t want to turn on. Might change the starter next if it doesn’t work might change the alternator next
So if car cranks but wont turn over and there is a grinding sound, it is most likely either battery, possible electrical, or alternator and not the starter? Did i miss anything?
When I try and start my car there is a clicking sound ,the dash lights were blinking and it was hard to keep speed not sure if it's a starter problem or alternator
My car will crank and start actually as I put my foot in the pedal to help it. Then it will die and shut off when I let up. No electrical problems. Could it be my idle air control valve?
Every once In a while I try ti start my truck I hear a surge of electric but no start after 6 tines trying to start it starts but then after 4 months symptoms disappear then it happens again no crank or start but when it starts it starts
Yeah when someone jumps my car its still wont crank up it will just cut my lights on and ny radio on before it couldnt cut back on my lights kept flickering
So recently i have been hearing a grinding noise come from my engine bay when starting the car how would i be able to diagnose wether it is my alternator or starter motor
greetings! i have a nissan quest 2013 i had the battery replaced recently and alternator rebuilt a couole months ago i come out today to it not starting no lights or sound when i press the button to start it. i did the jump off test and ir sounds like the engine wants to start but wont then there the continuous clicking sound could this be the starter? or is it my alternator again? gratitude for your help!
My 2019 gmc seirra I making a bad grinding sound but kicks in and starts but all power works fine is it my starter you think?? I bought one but now thinking it might not be the starter, please someone help
@@8020Media no not yet I'm just trying to figure out if it's the starter because I can do that myself, but everything else is working fine batterie is good just like a long grinding sound but will fire up after like 8 trys sounds rough but when it's started no more noise only when I go to turn the key all the way over
Hey , I have a 2015 ford fusion no check engine light starts and will run but will loose power intermittently and I have to pull over or car roll but will go in park but will keep loosing power and I took it to the dealer they say no issue and it didn’t do it either they but same day I picked up it did it with me could it be my starter plz I need help I don’t wanna give up on it just yet but even the dealer ship don’t know could it be electrical

Thanks! Car died and I could not turn the ignition over and there was no sound. Battery checked out good and I replaced the alternator the week before. Hopefully this narrows it down to a bad started. Got it towed back to the house. Looks like a few hours to replace it on a Chevy Colorado 2015.
R - Certainly sounds like it could be! Keep us updated.
Me too tonight!! Did you end up finding out if it was the starter?
just replaced my batterey not 3 months ago and barely drive my car, went to go turn it on today and it just clicked, i tried to turn it on quite a few times but now my lights wont turn on, i read afterward that trying to turn on a car with a bad starter can rapidly drain the battery, do yall think its the starter??

Can a bad starter solenoid be an intermittent issue or is it typically an issue where when it goes bad it permanently stops working.
V - It can definitely be an intermittent issue!
I’m getting all my lights and radio turn on but when I turn my key to start nothing happens at all no noise nothing, but my car has been starting no problems at all and this morning it just didn’t start, can a starter just die out of nowhere?
It could for sure if the solenoid seized up or something. But I wouldn't jump to that conclusion very quickly...check the basics...I'd start with looking at the fuses and checking the battery.
mine is doing the same thing at the moment. what did you do to help it start back up?
My car won’t start unless I jump start it then it will start up just fine for the rest of the day but the locks on my keys sometimes won’t work that’s how I know my car is not going to start but if the lock button on my keys unlock my doors than I know my car is going to start what could that be or mean?
Tee - This is most likely a bad battery. You can go to an autozone or any other car shop to get a free battery test. Keep us updated.
Same!

My 2006 impala struggles to start but has power. Once the car is running it has no problems but the moment I turn the car off & try to turn it back on it’ll give me issues. Sometimes it won’t turn on sometimes it’ll turn on slowly after holding the key for a slight longer.
R - We think this video will help with your research: th-cam.com/video/0YRdzJbHcm4/w-d-xo.html
Clicking could sometimes also be because the battery is dead not sending enough juice to the starter
B - Also true!
Thank you! The comment about the starter being in an area prone to oil leak discharge has been a huge clue to solving my problem. My 2009 civic si starts intermittently and has gotten progressively worse, yet whenit starts, its as if no problem ever existed. I was thinking of changing the clutch switch, etc. The seemingly unphased response from the car when it does start convinced me its not the starter.
its true and not true. My car has had a code P2647 ( something like that) and is leaking oil around that specific sensor. The code has changed to P2646. Today i noticed an even bigger oil leak.
SO my theory is that this problem ive delayed has caused this worse starting problem by spraying the starter motor with oil.
We shall see how it turns out.
V - Keep us updated!

Praying my starter is bad and not something wrong with the anti theft system on my 97 ford ranger. It acted like a dead battery about 1 out of 3 times trying to start over the last week. Just get a CLICK when trying to turn the key. I was able to push it and bump start it okay (luckily its a stick). Checked the battery is putting out 12.5v and when I bump start and get it running, alternator is putting out 14.2v. Also checked the solenoid is getting power, it sparks when you put a wrench across it.
Luckily that was it. So glad I didnt have to go tracing down electrical. 3 bolts and a connector was 100 times easier :D

2 - More than likely! Can always get your battery checked at your nearest auto store.
I recently bought a 2015 Infiniti Q50 and been having problems with it starting days after buying it. Took it to Infiniti for multi point inspection and they found no problems and they suggested I remove the after market starter it has. I picked up from Infiniti and it was starting and running with no issues for almost a 3 weeks till a couple days ago it didn’t want to start but then hours later it did. Now it completely doesn’t want to start for the whole day. Ignition lights and everything come on but won’t start. When I try to start it I just hear one click.

My car doesn’t start it lights up all the electricals but when I try to turn it on it switches everything off and died like a switch was flicked. Then I jump start it and it works until I try to turn it on again. Not even overnight just when it turns off. I checked the battery at autozone and it was 100 percent working they said. So idk what’s wrong
It doesn’t fail to start all the time though it’s random and inconsistent. I’ve noticed it at night mostly when I leave my car parked for 5 hours for work. It starts sometimes and other doesnt
T - Likely a starter or alternator issue.
Check your battery grounds, sometimes they’re loose and when you start your car the connection fails. I had the same thing in my Honda, would die randomly but figured it was a ground that either goes to the battery or the engine.
I got a problem on my car, it starts fine sometimes and sometimes the starter would spin (you can hear it) but it doesn't crank then you try again a few times and it starts and cranks no problem. Could it be a faulty solenoid causing the gear to not engage?

I just had a problem with no crank no start, and everything that I tried and troubleshot pointed to the starter and most garages would have come to the same conclusion. I ordered a new starter, and then watched a video showing how to test a starter without touching it. After I did the test, it showed that nothing at all was wrong with the starter. I then started checking fuses, and I found a blown (Transmission B+) fuse. I replaced that 5 cent fuse, and my Expedition started and ran beautifully. A garage would have charged a few hundred dollars to replace the starter when it cost only 5 cents to fix, and you did not mention anything about fuses hmmmmm.
O - So true! Thanks for taking the time to share your experience!
@@8020Media It is just that a lot of garages will take advantage of people when it turns out to be something so simple. Some also don't take the time to properly diagnose a problem and try to just throw parts at it instead (I know - it has happened to me), and in the end the cost is usually always much much higher than what it would have cost if only they took the time to do a proper diagnosis. Sometimes we need only take a step back for a moment, take a deep breath, and then use common sense and rational to get to the heart of an issue - Just my opinion though :).

Ok, so what if I have a new battery and a rebuilt alternator. I just had an entire engine overhaul, fixed a bunch of things, replaced all belts and hoses. Lubricants, fluids flushed and replaced. I drove 300 miles yesterday, stopped a few times, everything running great, and then 1 hour left of my drive to get me home, I stopped at a rest area for 20 minutes or so, went to start the car and it tried to turn over, heard some clicks, tried again a second time, then just clicks, and then tried a third time, then nothing. Someone jumped my car, started up immediately, I drove 7 miles to the closest hotel, turned off the car, then tried again, and same thing. Then this morning, got it jumped again, drove the rest of the way to my house, drove line a champ, got home, pulled into the garage, turned off the truck. Tried to start it again, and same thing again. Tried to turn over, and couldn't.
