Engine not cranking

Hi,

If it only clicks, it could be a weak battery, poor connection between the battery and starter, or the starter motor itself.

First, confirm the battery is properly charged. Follow this simple link to load test it:

If that tests good, then confirm the battery cables are tight and clean, free of corrosion.

If they are, then I need you to check for power at the starter motor. You will need a helper for this.

At the starter, there will be a heavy gauge wire that has 12v at all times. Also, there is a smaller gauge wire that is purple. It should only have 12v when the key is in the start position. Have a helper turn the key to the start position while you check for power.

If there is power, the starter is the likely problem.

I attached the wiring schematic below for your review and reference. Also, here is a link you may find helpful:

Let me know what you find or if I can help in any way.

Take care,

Joe
