Starter problem
Starter problem
Hey guys, my car wouldn't start, when i turned the key. I was far from home, so i had a friend come out to help me.
I figured it was just low battery, tried boosting it. I heard the starter click in but not try to turn.
My buddy told me to smack it with a wrench while he was cranking the motor.
I found it under the car (had to turn the wheels aside to get in there) driver side, you can see the little solonoid with a loomed wire coming out of it. The starter is right above it, if you reach around the solonoid you could smack the starter with something.
I smacked it with a wrench while he cranked and sure enough it started.
Saved me the money to tow the car home. Going to change the starter on monday.
Thought this might help someone
Cheers
