Todd in Seattle Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 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 am lame, Todd in Seattle ( now White Center! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratty2Austin Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I belive I have fallen for the same mistake look at the up-side though, now you have a new starter, and a spare! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPGsuperchargedBrumby Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rol1 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 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. 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
