Make sure your battery is FULLY charged. You can play a radio but there is not enough power to start the engine or even got get a click from the starter. If your battery is fully charged and then you get a click from your starter and it will not turn the engine over then you know the starter is bad. But if you take it out check for a store that will test it for free.
Anymore questions then IM me when I am on line. Be glad to help. I have 82 Toyota Celica so nearly same thing and easy to work on.

Some of these people do not know what they are talking about. In the good ole days, we rebuilt the starters. Mostly, you took them apart, cleaned them, and the major fixing was to replace the worn brushes and those did not cost much. Every once in a while the solenoid would go bad. But in this world of fast and easy, it is sometimes easier to replace it especially when they come with a lifetime warranty.

Im not sure approximately State regulation yet maximum motor vehicle shops whilst they are merchandising a REBUILT starter do requre an substitute or they do have a center charge . New starter often do no longer require an substitute . additionally you dont say what your motor vehicle is doing , regardless of the incontrovertible fact that it may be an worry-free restoration like in basic terms a solinoid or force , except the windings are totaly cooked a MECHANIC could have the skill to repair it as unfavorable to replaceing it .

Answer 4

Like Dodge man, I have been working on cars and trucks for a long time and the best advise anyone can give you is this:

If you don't know what you are doing then take it to someone that does, also, without proper diagnostics then a proper fix is impossible.

It doesn't matter what kind of vehicle you have, if you don't give a good description of what the problem is then how do you expect anyone to read your mind and fix the problem?

Good luck and hope this helps.

Answer 5

i own a shop and you cant repair it you replace it with either a rebuilt or a new one,but first you have to remove the old one from it,and take it and exchange it for a good one and if you don't have the proper tools for this ,it will be a little hard to get off but it might be a better idea to have it done this time it might be cheaper on you,and save a lot of time ,good luck,i hope this helps.

Answer 6

You'll have to bring it in to an auto parts shop. You can exchange it, and they'll give you money off of either a refurbished or a new starter. If you don't know what you're doing, then don't take that starter apart. Best of luck to you.

Answer 7

Dude, unless you have repaired starters befor for a living, avoid the head aches, and get a rebuilt or new one, and be done with it
