Ok, I was parked at papa johns today, and as I was leaving, and i went to start my car i turned it halfway over and my radar kicked on and my radio and my lights n sh!t, but i turned it over and nothing, turned it over, nothign again, did it about 5 times, nothing, 6th time it started.
do u think its my starter or alternator, or something different, much help would be appreciated, whatever it is, I need to get it fixed, im afraid im gonna be stranded and one time it wont start. Thanks in advanced
have your battery checked first (make sure theres no corrosion), then do a charging system test. if not either of them then i would check your starter.
I've seen lots of people with aftermarket terminals have the wires come loose a little, I'd check that first if you haven't. If it's not your charging system good luck.
ya check the battery terminals for loose wired cause once i was leaving work and my car wouldnt start and i looked and the terminal was loose and ive neva messed with it before that
When people say "turned over" they usually mean the start is turning the flywheel and if it's "turning over" there wouldn't be a problem with the starter.If you're turning the key and just hearing a clicking or nothing at all there is either a problem with the starter or there's a problem with your charging system.Have someone give you a jump and if it starts right away there's something wrong with your charging system but if it still isn't turning over it's probably your starter.
it wouldnt crank at all, it clicked a bit on some of the times i turned the key over but other than that it wouldnt even make a noise like it was attempting to crank, so i figured it was the starter. I dont think it was my battery cuz when i turned the key halfway, all my electrical devices turned on no problem, just like normal. I am thinkin its my starter.
If it happens again, just hit(not TOO hard) the starter a few times and then try again. As mentioned above, could be starter brushes, solenoid on starter, or solenoid on the frame.
