Will not start

I suspect we have a wiring issue or possibly a faulty starter. If it actually clicks then that would indicate the starter is getting voltage and the command to start but just can't do it.

There is a possible issue that the engine is locked up but that is unlikely if this is a new issue and the vehicle was just starting properly. Is there a history to this? Meaning did something else cause the vehicle to stop starting?

If not, we need to check voltage at the starter to find out what we have and we can go from there.

You have two wires. You should have 12 volts on the red wire all the time. Then you should have 12 volts on the yellow wire when cranking the engine. Let me know what questions you have. Thanks

Good evening,

I would start with the battery. Make sure you have 12.4 to 12.6 volts because if you do not then there will not be sufficient voltage to make the starter work.

If the battery is good, the wiring will have to be checked.

In the case it needs a starter, I attached the procedure for you below and attached some pictures.
