Every once and awhile my car was making some odd grinding sound, but it wasnt the starter gears or anything, but usally would start after you stopped gave it a second and then tryed again...

Well today when i was going to leave i tryed to start (after just getting home from driving it like 5min before and ran fine) and it wouldnt even turn the starter over or make the griding noise, the only thing heard was a weird whirling sound coming from behind the dash and thats it......some time later i tryed again and it wouldnt even make the whirling sound..just silence..

I tryed jumping and still jsut silence, fuses seem to fine, and wires leading to the starter seem to be intact and fine..

Its a new battery, battery connectors, and starter...............any other advice??? replace grounding cables and grounds leading to starter,ect..?? Untill i get it fixed im stuck walking everywhere....

 

If it will roll start,it's in the starting system. Sounds like the bendix is going out on the starter or you are not getting full juice to the starter.

 

Bendix??

When my battery went dead one day 2 guys and i tryed to push start my car we couldnt do it i think my clutch was slipping to much or somthing..??

Any idea what the sounds i was hearing were?? or what that high pitch whirling sound was from my dash thats gone now??

 

the bendix is what makes the thing on the starter pop out, and spin. yours is not popping out, its just spinning. youll need a new starter

 

the howling sound isnt the starter.....i just thought of this now....is there a relay for it that could have gone out?? because thats kind of what this sounded like before total silence..
