Did you change the solenoid with the starter or just the starter? if you changed both i'm not sure. if you just changed the starter and not the solenoid you should change the solenoid.

What could cause the part of the starter that the wire from the battery connects to start fire once the wiring was replaced? The starter was tested andthe battery was tested, both good. Found lots of

I had the same problem, make sure your wires are not exposed and shorting on some piece of metal, that could cause a fire. Other than that I would check that starter again, it sounds like it is seized or maybe you have the wires on backwards. If you have an oil leak and oil gets into that starter it will destroy it. Hope that helps!

The ignition switch attached to the column is probally bad, check the small wire to the sloenoid for battery when the key is turned to the start postion, if no battery, your not getting power from the ignition switch to the starter solenoid.

Try changing the relay first, if it still does it, change the starter, sounds like it's dragging. I have a ford that did the same thing, I changed the starter, no more problem.

It could either be a BAD starter or a BAD ignition they both would have the same symptoms of a "CLICK" alone. I would most likely lean toward the ignition because the key is difficult to turn but its not all ways true that key is tight because the ignition is bad, although possible. It could just mean a bad ignition cylinder(just the key part why its tight) I want you to do a test for me. With clutch engaged turn key to start position and listen for click on starter in the hood, when trying to start. If you hear starter click then the ignition switch is good. (Before you do this make sure that battery is FULLY CHARGED).STARTER IS AT FAULT. IF no clicking is heard coming from starter check starter fuse and if its good YOU have a BAD ignition switch. Contact if you need more hep and Thanks for using FIX YA

My car has a full charged battery and when i turn the key on to start the car all the dash lights come on like they are supposed too but the car does not turn over.

Try to start it in neutral. If it starts you have a bad neutral safety switch. If it doesn't use a 12 volt test light to check for voltage at the small solenoid wire at the starter while someone holds the key in cranking position. If voltage is present you have a bad starter. If no voltage is present check all battery connections and starter relay.

Replace the starter. The starter drive which is called a Bendix on the end of the starter is broken.
