Engine starter is not working?

The wires are fine. I'm getting power to the dash lights, so I know I'm getting power from the battery. Also, when I try to start the car, there is a slight buzzing sound coming from under the hood.

My daughter was driving the car for a while, then one day it would not start. She took it to a mechanic, who told her that the spark plug was sucked into the head, but I looked and their all still there. Still the motor will not turn over by means of the starter. Oil level checks out fine. The car ran great until that happened.

How can I make sure that power is going through the neutral safety switch?

It's a rotary-style switch, so can I just use a test light ont the prongs of the plug that plug into the switch?

It was the ignition switch thank you

I drive a 2001 kia rio. I was driving the other day and without warning all of my dash lights (check engine, oil, battery, and brake lights) came on. Then I could not accelerate at all, even when pressing the gas pedal all the way to the floor. I pulled over to the side of the road and turned the car off. When I tried to restart the car, it wouldn't turn over and only made a clicking sound. All of my lights, radio, and gauges were still working so I don't think the problem is electrical. When I got the car back to my house I looked under the hood and noticed that the oil was a little low. It never made any unusual sounds before this all happened and nothing like this has ever happened before. Is my engine seized? Or is there something else wrong with it?

No starter operation after it rains?

Hey,

I have had 2 rios before and now I have a 2005. I find that when I wash the car or after it rains or snows, the car has a lot of spots that pool water. Like where the rear glass meets the trunk lid, that spot pools water and then rusts the metal. The water also gets in most of the door jams and can get under the hood. Not only that, the water can sometimes leak on the inside of the car because of the seals of the windows.

Also, you know the rubber seal between the roof and the door frame? The glue wears out on that seal and water and air get in there too.

I have read on another forum that sometimes the fuse box can get moisture in it, and sometimes the fuses get some corrosion forming. The guy on that forum said he used some kind of water proof grease or something to coat the fuses, to avoid them from further getting wet. Dont do this please without finding out first if its safe. Who knows if that guy did the appropriate thing.

Do you have power windows? If water is leaking inside the door frames, then that might affect the electrical in there.

Anyway I hope you figure out what is going on with your car. Make sure your battery posts are free from corrosion and that the wires are on tight.

Good luck.
