ok so i out in a new starter last week and everything was fine, till yesterday i go to start my car and all i got was a clicking noise, so i went and got a new solenoid, put it in and the cars still making the noise, no starter crank at all, i think the solenoid is making the noise.... any help?!
thanks
well the cables arent corroded, the battery is in the trunk and the cables are all tight, maybe ground connection, i dunno where they wouldve put it after the battery relocation tho..
is the solenoid grounded well? the backing plate of the solenoid, where it bolts down, is the ground. if you have it mounted to some kind of rubber vibration dampner or something, it won't work.
might be the backing plate, never thought of that so i didnt check it, it wouldnt be the battery cuz i just got a brand new optima redtop so it cant be that lol, best battery ive ever used
don't assume anything, that's how one becomes lost in the treck of troubleshooting, verify it........just do what I said, turn the lights on with the ignition in the on position, see if when you flip the lights on, everything in the car goes dead, if so = ground/connection issue
