Starter will not turn over?

Starter relay/starter
start w those checking for power and u can staright wire to check starter itself

disconnect the s terminal on the starter and connect the battery, if the starter engages then its the starter, if it doesnt check the voltage on the small wire it should be dead unless the key is in the start pos

Might be a bad starter cable,fallow the cable from the battery to the starter.make sure both ends are tight,then check the ground cable.If all is tight turn on your headlights and see if they are nice and bright.no lights or they look dim and go out when you try to turn it over,could be the battery or cables. make sure there's 12 volts at the battery.then make sure there's 12 at the starter(battery cable post).no voltage at the starter but good at the battery replace the cable.good voltage at the starter, use a screw driver and connect the small post w/purple wire to the big battery cable by bridging the two posts. Warning!!!!!This will probably turn over the engine,Keep everything clear,hands-clothes-tools.engine turns over,bad ignition switch mounted on the side of the steering collumn.this is an electric switch not the key switch.

If the lights dim, its the starter, If they go out, you have a bAD BATTERY CONNECTION. This cranking with lights on . It may be neutral safety swith, May be clutch safety if manual trans. I'd go for the battery connection is poor. Ck the ground/neg first.

could be a loose wire on the starter , check your connections

i just had this fixed on my cavalier.i put a new ground wire on my car and a new cluster and now everything is fine.

check the timing and make sure  fuel pump is working

Hi

Check the starter leads, try giving the starter a tap !

Good luck !

John.

Sounds like you have a bad starter. To check this you can try taking a hammer to the starter and tap it while someone in the car turns the key. If it starts you know you have a bad starter and need to replace it. Hope this helps you out

Most chevy cars have 3 wires. I main wire that comes from the battery. Another a little smaller wire that goes to the same post in the center of the starter solinoid. And 1 small wire that goes to the smaller threaded post on the side.
