  • starter not working

    now i have ****ed with the relays cause i can hear a click coming from them, moved them around, bought a new one no luck, but heres the story.

    Had the car already to go, went to turn it, the starter went clicking nuts. Bought a new starter, installed, now nothing. Sometimes one click, but mostly i turn it and get nothing at all. Ideas, go.

    on top of that, i have no security lights blinking, I go to start the car i can hear one click from my fuse box, its on eof the relays. And then another mechanical noise (not a starter click) but a noise from the starter itself.

        isnt there a way you can test the voltage after the relay to make sure the starter is getting the full juice?

            check your grounds, could be the key switch but i have no clue how your ignition is set up in the pesky blue oval :)

                If it's manual turn the key to the on position, roll it, and let out the clutch. :D

                The above method has saved me many a time, I like to leave things on (low batt), so I always get manual cars. :)

                Come to think of it, this should bypass the VATS system because that is only activated to start the car! Never thought of that before.

                    I would say yes right by the terminals

                      sorry thought it was the stang, like i said check you grounds, bust out a schematic and follow flow from the battery all the way throught the starting circuit with a multimeter, check batt voltage first would be pretty stupid but you never know unless you already checked it, thats my adivce,but check all your connections first, good luck
