All  |   Discussion (0)Starter Motor

If you sometimes turn the key and nothing happens, not even the cranking sound of the starter motor, it could be a few things: 1. The car has voltage drop to the starter motor, meaning that by the time the volts get to it, they are not high enough to start it. Get an auto electrician to install a relay to boost the voltage to the minimum level required. 2. The other thing it could be is a small electrical connection to the solenoid may have slipped off its contact. Check for loose wires in the area. 3. The contact of the leads connecting to your battery may be poor. Tighten the connection, or clean the battery terminals.   [guest]

It's more economical to buy a new high-quality branded starter motor for you car than several used ones. It will last longer and they often have a two year warranty. Overall, if you are keeping the car it will be cheaper, as well as freeing up your time to do other things.   myxlfidian (150)

If your starter motor won't crank, it could also be a dud alternator. If the alternator doesn't show between 13 to 15 volts at the battery, it isn't working fully, which will result in undercharging of your battery, and thereby a reduction in volts to the starter motor when you turn the key.   myxlfidian (150)
