Hello, iam Debra Burks, I hope your day is great!
Oh man, something’s not right with my car - the symptoms are pointing to a faulty starter. I’m no mechanic, but it looks like I’m gonna have to take it in and get it checked out. Ugh, this is such a pain! Hopefully it’s nothing too serious and won’t cost an arm and a leg to fix. Fingers crossed!
What Are 2 Symptoms That Would Indicate A Faulty Starter Solenoid? [Solved]
Well, if your engine won’t crank or start, it could be a sign of a bad starter solenoid. You might not even hear the usual clicking noise when you try to start it. In rare cases, the starter might spin without fully engaging the flywheel or crank slowly. To check it out, first test your battery and make sure power is getting to the starter solenoid.
Engine Crank No Start: This is the most common symptom of a faulty starter, where the engine will not start when the ignition key is turned.
Clicking Noise: A clicking noise coming from the starter area when attempting to start the engine can indicate a faulty starter motor.
Slow Cranking: If it takes longer than usual for the engine to crank over, this could be an indication of a weak or failing starter motor.
Smoke or Burning Smell: If smoke or burning smell is present when attempting to start the engine, this could be an indication of a faulty starter motor that has overheated due to excessive current draw or short circuit in its windings.
Dim Lights: When turning on the ignition switch, if all lights dim significantly then this could indicate that there is too much current draw from a faulty starter motor and it needs to be replaced immediately before further damage occurs
Well, if your car’s not starting, it could be a sign of a faulty starter. You might hear clicking noises when you turn the key or nothing at all. If that’s the case, it’s time to get it checked out!
