Try tapping the starter with a hammer,If it works you'll probably find yourself doing it again and again with shorter periods in between until you get a new starter
Checking the starter separate was a good step. Now that you know it works, start backwards. You'll need a test light for this. Connect the alligator clip to ground and check to see if you have power at the smaller wire that goes to the starter. If you have no power (light doesn't turn on), check to see where your starter relay is located and swap it with one you know works like the horn. If it starts, you have a bad relay. If it doesn't start, you may have a bad ignition switch. Hope this helps. Good luck.
Under the hood, there should be a fuse block. Remove the cover and there will be a 20amp(i think) fuse that protects the fuel pump and starter circuit. I've run into this problem many times and every time it ends up being the starter that blows the fuse.
Look under the hood. I think it is unlikely to have something loose under the dash, unless some work has been done under there lately. Get a helper to watch the gauge, while you wiggle wires......The wire involved in the temp circuit is small gauge.... push and pull on all wiring that you see, while the helper watched the gauge...
I think u have a loose connection on the moter it's selh.It should be located under the hood on the passenger side back by the fire wall..Hope this helps.
you need to get your hands on an electrical schematic for that vehicle everything you need to see will be there sounds like it might be a fuseable link i think there is 2 coming off the solenoid its also possible its the ignition switch ( electrical switch ) on the steering column . hope this helps
There could be several reasons for that to happen, and after you have confirmed that there is actually 12 volts in the battery, then you should check the battery cables for a loose or corroded connection at the battery, at the fuse/relay junction box under the hood, and also down at the starter for a loose or corroded connection, broken wires or burned up fusible link wires especially any at the starter or fuse/relay junction box. (you will know a burned up fusible link wire when you find one because it will pull and stretch like a rubber band) Also, be sure that you check all of the large maxi-fuses in the fuse/relay junction box located under the hood to be certain that none are blown, and check the ground cable from the battery and make sure that it is good and tight where ever it is bolted to, and be certain that it does provide a good solid ground to the engine and the chassis. Another possibility is that the ignition switch located under the dash on the top of the steering column has completely failed and is no longer capable of making any kind of electrical connection at all.
loose connections and starter relay in power distribution box under hood. Make sure you dont have a loose or poor connection on a ground or power wire from battery.
