83449, Car wont start, not the battery, not the alternator, what the hell could it be?? Posted by Superman, Dec-13-04 08:18 PM
Ok, This morning my car started just fine. I ran a few errands and then went to work. I Went to move my car to a different parking spot (closer to the door cause it is gettin cold here) and the damn thing would not start. I have full power on the inside of the car and on the outside so it cant be the battery, plus the battery is only a year or so old, same as the alternator. I have checked out relay's and fuses, but everything is fine. I was able to do a rolling jump and it would start that way. Could it be the starter?? when i push in on the clutch and turn the key i hear a click and that is all. nothing else. I think it is the starter but i want a sec opionon. Pls help!
TIA
TJ

If you heard the click, and the battery is good, then it's your starter.

likely the starter. Very easy fix.
I found one on Ebay not long ago for $6. Yes, $6. Not likely to happen again though.

def the starter, got a new one, quite expensive if you ask me, 30 min later started like a dream. Had to get a push start this morning lol. I am just glad that it is the only thing wrong.

I know, that's why I'm so glad I checked Ebay and got lucky. Lemme guess, yours was over $100 with a core? Can't beat $6 with a bat.
