1984 Corvette?

Question

I turned the engine off and now the car will not start. Not even a clicking nose is heard. Other things like turn signal, radio, ect are working when the keys is turned. What is wrong and what is the cure?

Answer 1

Starter soilenoid,stuck or damaged or not getting propper voltage,also If its a standard transmission ,the clutch pedal swich might be bad or out of adjustment,,Check for voltage amount at soilonoid on the small wire while tring to start it...Automatics have a neutral safty swich,,

Answer 2

First check the battery for proper voltage. It must be 11.5 or higher.
When will people learn that all the other things, lights, radio, ect need 12v yes but not more then 2 amps to run them. It takes a lot of voltage to turn a starter.
If the voltage is up there, Get a voltage meter and follow the + wire from the battery to the starter and check the voltage at the starter it to should be 11.5 if it is you have a bad starter. If not the cable from the batter is bad or the battery needs recharging.

Hope this helps

Answer 3

try tapping on the solenoid switch on the starter ,,i think it may be stuck on it,,i own a repair shop,,and run across this problem a lot,,gm vehicles have a tendency to do this,,if it continues to do it,, you may have to replace the starter on it,,id replace the whole thing,,because on a vette the heat gets to the starter pretty bad,,unless you have a good heat shield on it,,,that's about all it could be,because everyone knows corvettes don't have starter relays on them,,,good luck with it,,i hope this help,s.

Answer 4

It is a Chevy, take the radiator cap off and drive a FORD under it.

Answer 5

'84 Vettes were horrors as far as electronics and related systems. Anti-theft system could have gone nuts, possible wiring problems from ignition switch to stater, etc., etc.
You have my sympathies.

Answer 6

Check the starter relay and starter solenoid.
