Recently brought a 1991 Accord from a friend. He said all it needed was a starter. Tested Starter, Battery, all is fine. Car will not make a sound with the exception of the 3 clicks from the main relay. I do not hear the starter at all(no clicks). Anyone have any suggestions and I was told to try to push start(does this make any sense to do). UPDATE AS OF OCT 7, 2006. WAS ABLE TO PUSH START IT TODAY. WHAT EXACTLY DOES THAT RULE OUT?

 

Take that starter off and take to your local parts store and have it checked off of the car, this will assure you if the starter is good or not, before you do that..make sure your ground connection is clean and tight..try that then if no , go take it off and off you go to the parts store..AutoZone does this for FREE!

also try the starter solenoid...if all you are hearing is the main relay clicks then it sounds like the solenoid switch for the starter is shot.

 

Thanks for the info. I had the starter tested and it was fine.

 

Confused. I had the starter tested. Isnt the solenoid part of the whole starter assembly. Not for sure just making sure I tested the right component. Thanks again for the help.

 

Does the starter signal wire have power when you turn the key to start?

 

Not for sure. How do I test it.
