A bad connection / corrosion and or a low battery will ruin a starter happens all the time….

I drove my car in a heavy rain for more than 2 hrs and after that when I starts it just click ones no cranking sound I hope it's the same issue or may be rainy water damage the starter motor

[@justinthompson3532]

Dont hook your battery up and try to start it until you know for sure you dont have your signal wire touching the other wire. If these are touching and you hook your battery back up your car will automatically start and you will definitely blow a fuse. Then ones you get them not touching your car wont start untill you find and fix the blown fuse!

I think my crank shaft position sensor is bad (got code) or selenoid is bad. So i got a no crank no start. I needed a booster to get car started. Got it to start but car lasted I only 2 days and then did the same thing. I charged battery i case it was battery. Started no crank no start. Did it again and it took 10 seconds turnover before it started. So i dont think its the starter or it wont even turn but the selenoid going bad is not popping out coukd cause it to not turn sometimes or not turn most times? From spinning and cranking? I got a code for cam shaft position sensor, which I read eventually causes no start but it doesnt say if its a no turn no start or of its a turn but no start. Alternator hasnt died or the car would lose power and turn off or just not turn and or crank at all. Other suggestions anyone? let me know please. I dont want to buy new starter and alternator just to find out issue continues. It may be ignition switch or something similar? Not sure

Where is the ground wire??????

The first problem is that it’s a Chevy 😂

Can you do voltage drop testing if the starter is not turning over (no crank)? When starting ignition (no crank) the voltage drop from (-) battery to starter housing is 78mv so good ground. My voltage drop from (+) battery to B-terminal jumps to OL. why?

[@Mister_CVC]

Did it still turn over when it got hot? Is there a follow up video??

[@stephenrickstrew7237]

As a 1989 G-20 van owner .. I’m really taking this one to heart … Going to the beach every day … you can really get some corrosion just about everywhere… have you done a video about the old hitting the starter with a hammer trick … it got me to the parts store .. then I drove around with the new starter fir a few weeks till I changed it … I appreciated your Honda ECM reset video…Thanks have a good weekend ..!

Great advice.

Nice explanation

[@JayarePee-en1td]

I been trying to find something on my Winnebago RV starter solenoid ,previous repairs they used any color wires an I couldn't find out what went where

[@jimmieblue6262]

After putting the wires on the starter I always spray a little lacquer on the connections.

[@fireboy5043]

The Exact problem i had clean it up with a wire brush and been starting up like new ever since

[@StonerBear420]

I've got a similar situation with my truck, the only differences are that my truck is from 1947, it runs on a 6v positive ground system, I've got brand new battery cables and a new 6v battery with the positive cable attached to the frame and the negative cable going to the starter. but i turn the key, press the start button.. nothing, no click no attempt at the starter trying to spin up. i haven't the first damn clue as to why it's not doing anything.

[@skipperrussell2025]

I have the same car and it blew the fusible link going to the crank relay. There is a short between the crank relay and ground. I'm assuming the solenoid shorted to ground.
