Will Not Even Click On Attempted Startup

[NEILL93SHO]

Everything was working fine, then i went to start it and nothing..lights come on as normal, fuel pump ok etc..just no life to the starter..I am not much good with electriclal, but i am good at following instructions..Could it be the starter itself? I looked at the wires and everything seems ok. I switched the battery with a buddy and still nothing..any idea?

If the lights came on, and then u went to start w/no clicking or lights goin dim, then ya it sounds as if your starter took a crap on yA!!!

Try givin the starter a few taps with a hammer...not hard but just afew light raps. If it starts up your brushes are goin bad in the starter and it's time for a rebuild or a remanufactured one

can it be the wires? The other day I turned my key, everything had power, but no clicks. Just repositioned the wires a bit, and voila. Well, it didn't start, but it was trying to So that did the trick

Clean your wire connections, especially the main ground wire to the engine block. rangerj

The female spade connector to the solenoid gets loose over time. You can crimp the connector small amount to get a better fit.
