We hear no clicking sound comming from the starter so i dont think is the started I will be changing it tomorrow just in case...But i called my friend and ask him what would be the problem. HE told me it was the ignition Switch But i replaced it and still nothing, The battery is not dead because everything turns on nothing dims windows go up and down. Checked battery on dads car and works fine... THats our only car I need It working ANY HELP Thanks

Starter. Hit it with a hammer, see if you can get it to start.

 

do you mean take it off and give it a couple of blows or while its on there hit it a couple of times see if the fixes anything?

 

Try banging it while it's on there.

 

Yes! Bang on it while it is all bolted up and everything, and if you try again and it starts, then you need a new starter or a hammer to take along everywhere you go.

But if it still doesn't start then it could be the starter is completely dead and there is no way around it, or its something else. Good luck!

 

Noo it didnt work i banged it and jumped it but nothing

 

Yea i had bought a used starter and i think it might be dead. But luckily i have warranty on it so tomorrow i will get a new one .

 

never buy anything Reman for these cars, their almost always junk im on Alternator #5 my stocker went 200K.

 

im glad i haven't had starter problems on mine. when i did the tranmission i seen someone previously replaced it ive had car 2 years and no problems with it. i have replaced my starter switch though because i used to have to jiggle it to start it for a whole year lol.
