x91evo Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Sounds like a bad solenoid? Why else would it be clicking.. sounds like its getting power, just not engaging? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfoland93 Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Its the starter solenoid contacts, they need to be cleaned. Drop your starter take it apart and sand the contacts and itll be good as new. The spot with least resistance LOL. I would ground to a rubber dildo if it had less resistance than a run of 4/0 wiring. how many poeple work there 3 or 4 lol At crescendo HQ? probably 2-3 At the sweatshop in china? 30,000 children No Engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassHead1990 Posted May 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 The starter seems like a bitch to get to. I'll see how hard to is to take out and if that doesn't fix It. I'm just going to replace it.

BassHead1990 Posted June 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 replaced the connections...new terminals, strip back both the power and ground wires, bought a hold down for my battery and it gave my issue at first, but it seems to be starting up every time now (knock on wood......ok did it) so I think my starter is good.......for now. I'm going to buy another newer battery just for extra measurement.
