Will not start

Hi,

First, make sure the battery terminals are clean and tight. The starter places a heavy load on it. If the connection is weak, it will do this. Here is a link you may find helpful:

Next, follow the ground wire from the battery. It will mount to the engine on the upper side of the engine (driver's side). Make sure that is clean and tight.

If that is good, we need to confirm the starter isn't bad. Here is a link that explains how to check it:

This seems like a lot, but it goes fast. Do these things and let me know what you find. Also, let me know where the click is coming from. For example, is it only from the power distribution box or do you hear it at the starter motor as well.

Take care and I'll watch for your reply.

If you hear the starter click, it starts with being jumped but only clicks without being jumped and the battery is good, have you checked the ground I mentioned? Also, when you jump start it, where are you attaching the ground on your vehicle?

Let me know.

Hi,

That is the only other thing that is making sense to me at this point. Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe
