What will disable starter on 99 olds intrigue how to repair going crazy

Disconnect the battery cables from the battery an touch both cable together for ten min. How To Clear Your PCM Memory On Fords After Repairs

Pull battery cables then touch the cbles together it discharge any remaing power let sit for ten min hook cables back up

Try touching the positive and the negative battery cables together and then hooking them back on battery then this is important 1-- unlock with key (if not locked lock it then unlock all doors with key leave doors open and put key in try to start leave in the on position for ten mins until light stops blinking then try starting it again if it don't start then leave key in on position wait ten more mins and start truck as always hope this helps good luck

Replace the starter solenoid. Make sure you hook the wires back properly. Try jumping across the solenoid with cables to see the starter crank. That makes a direction to the starter. That's what the solenoid does. It connects those 2 cable ends together to make the starter crank over.

it sounds like a faulty electrical ignition /neutral saftey switch mounted on the transmission by the shift cable

i had the same problem on my 90 half ton, it is more than likley the starter has stuck in the engaged position. There are contacts inside of the solenoid that can in effect weld themselves together. Try giving the starter a tap with a hammer, (don't go crazy but give it a good whack) if you cant reach use a piece of pipe or something to get down to the starter. Hit on the body of the starter,(the big part) not the solenoid. Then hook the battery back up and see what happens. If it starts with the key like normal, change the starter. If it still turns over when you hook the battery up get under the truck (after you disconnect the battery) and disconnect the battery cable (large red wire) from the starter to the battery and tie it away from any metal. Hook the battery back up and get back under and find the small wire on the starter. With the key off use a test light or meter to check for voltage on the small wire. If there is power there with the key off it could be the ignition switch. If there is no power, change the starter. Keep in mind that if the starter is as old as the truck it may break when you try to get the battery cable off of it, but if it does thats another sign that the starter/solenoid is the cause of your problems. If you don't feel comfortable testing anything just take the starter off and take it somewhere, lots of places will test it for free.

When its hooked up, you should be able to put 12 volts on the little stud on the solenoid and it should start. One large stud will have 12 volts on it, so just jump it right there. Did you get the wires in the right place. The solenoid should have 1 large wire going down to the starter. Be sure the battery cables are clean and tight ( both ends) Check battery voltage when cranking, should go to 10-11 volts. Check voltage between negative terminal on battery and engine, should be ZERO when cranking. The solenoid has 2 large studs, make sure the battery positive wire and all the other wires are hooked to this stud, the other large stud should just have the wire going to the starter.

Motor cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I just turn the starter until it comes throuh the hole. Easy way to pull motor. lot more room

Make sure you are not using an old car-battery.

Key switch?
Starter Solenoid?
Starter?
Battery Cables?
All of these need to be checked.
Do and of the lights work?
Put a meter on the battery. Should show 12 to 13 volts
Have someone try to start the car, Does the voltage change?
Yes, you may have a starter problem.
No, you have a switch, cable or solenoid problem
