When the car is not starting, do you hear one click from inside the engine bay when you turn the key to start it?

 

no clicking in the engine bay , i do hear what seems to be a relay of some type under dash , i just tried to jump it off with a jump box to get it to my machanic but nothing just hearing the fuel pump and that relay (i beleive its a relay ,it a click coming from under the dash on driver side) so i had to push start it to get it started

 

There are a couple of items that you can check.

1. Disconnect the battery and clean both the connections to the starter.

2. Have an assistant hold the key in the start position. Use a long screwdriver and hit the starter with light to moderate force.

3. You can use a volt meter to see if you get 12V to the smaller blk/wht wire that goes to the starter when someone turns the key to the start position.

4. You can stop by a parts store, and have them test the battery/alternator/starter.

 

thanks for the info it was the starter got one comming tomorrow yea no more push starting
