92 Explorer Starter Problems
Ok, so, I go to start my car, and "Click", the relay behind the batery engages, but nothing else. NO turn over.
I fiddle with the wires to the starter, and it starts fine. However, in the past few days, my car wont start at all, but the relay clicks.
Today, I took out the starter, and cleaned all the contacts. I replaced the wires, but did not replace the starter so that I could test it. Using a jumper cable, I grounded the starter to the engine. I turn the ignition, and the starter turns. I replace the starter, and the starter no longer turns, just the click of the relay. I took the starter out again, and grounded it. It turns. I replaced it again, and it still does not turn.
I am completely dumbfounded on this one. If anyone can help, id really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Pat

i hate to say this but your engine might be locked up. try turning it with a socket or by pulling on the belt. other than that you might have a weak starter or a bad solenoid. you replaced the big starter wire right? make sure the battery connections are clean and the battery ground/pos cables are in good shape and tight. also check where the ground attatches to the block. just one of those little problems!!!
