Stupid and expensive mistake- 91 loyale starter

[Todd in Seattle]

Here is a word of advice to ya'll. If your starter motor occasionally doesnt want to turn or just klicks, CHECK THE WIRES TO THE SYLENOID "BEFORE" you go to NAPA and drop $89.99 on a new starter.

The big positve wire with the nut was loose as a goose.

I belive I have fallen for the same mistake

 

look at the up-side though, now you have a new starter, and a spare!

if you check and the wires are as there supposed to be and it still clicks try undoing the nuts and sanding the contact tabs

Go to junk yard and get the copper contacts from old starters. You can see which ones are worn. Easy fix for most starters, don't buy new starters without checking the contactors first.
