lolitskasey Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Alright so i was cleaning my battier terminals yesterday. when i put everything back and tried to start my car it wouldn't turn over it just made a ticking noise. Dose that mean my starter is gone or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KyleCannon Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Battery might be dead or something isn't connected... try getting a DMM on your battery and see what it reads out.... when it's sitting there and when you try to turn it over.

Neel Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 If you didnt just finish cleaning your battery terminals I would suspect something was wrong with the car... but go with the simplest possibilities first. Check voltage at terminals during cranking, check to see if you pulled any wires while cleaning the terminals, make sure the terminals fit snug.. Quote Too Much Stuff to list .

Dose that mean my starter is gone or what? that's usually caused by a weak battery especially since you just performed an action in that area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
