As a 1989 G-20 van owner .. I’m really taking this one to heart … Going to the beach every day … you can really get some corrosion just about everywhere… have you done a video about the old hitting the starter with a hammer trick … it got me to the parts store .. then I drove around with the new starter fir a few weeks till I changed it … I appreciated your Honda ECM reset video…Thanks have a good weekend ..!

The Exact problem i had clean it up with a wire brush and been starting up like new ever since

[StonerBear]

I've got a similar situation with my truck, the only differences are that my truck is from 1947, it runs on a 6v positive ground system, I've got brand new battery cables and a new 6v battery with the positive cable attached to the frame and the negative cable going to the starter. but i turn the key, press the start button.. nothing, no click no attempt at the starter trying to spin up. i haven't the first damn clue as to why it's not doing anything.

Wish I would’ve watched this 15 minutes ago. Over tightened the brass fitting thinking it needed to be super tight and it broke off smh. I pray Autozone take it back lol

After putting the wires on the starter I always spray a little lacquer on the connections.

I been trying to find something on my Winnebago RV starter solenoid, previous repairs they used any color wires an I couldn't find out what went where

[martinmoffitt]

by chance did you check out the ""Old/Bad"" starter to see if it was good?? Thanks be well

[skipperrussell]

I have the same car and it blew the fusible link going to the crank relay. There is a short between the crank relay and ground. I'm assuming the solenoid shorted to ground.

[offswitch]

So I just replaced my starter solenoid. Now the engine will only run when I'm trying to start the engine. Once I let go of the key it kills it. Please help.

A bad connection / corrosion and or a low battery will ruin a starter happens all the time….

[SupraLife]

my starter on my carlo just clicks, any idea on what that could be, i will be jumping it soon, but if that dont work, and the terminals are clean on starter and battery, the starter and crank relays are good?

[JohnSmith-vtry]

Can you do voltage drop testing if the starter is not turning over (no crank)? When starting ignition (no crank) the voltage drop from (-) battery to starter housing is 78mv so good ground. My voltage drop from (+) battery to B-terminal jumps to OL. why?

[johnnyvalle]

i will try this, i am new to this world, got me an 88 f150. basically same issue

[TheSmallTimeHunter]

My 1995 Oldsmobile 88 isn’t wanting to start I change the starter and check the battery. The battery was a little low it was 12.14.v Looks like it freezes up when it cranks and don’t wanna crank over

[Mister_CVC]

Did it still turn over when it got hot? Is there a follow up video??

[tomfaticone]

Look I put a starter in my my chevelle it’s it starts, but the gas is pumping through the carburetor, but it won’t crank over. What do you think it is?

[ChristinaCasal-ue]

Hey I need to ask I can't remember the wiring I took off starter. But I believe I put positive on the motor bolt. OK so I replaced the brand new starter and brand new battery. I have complete no power. I want to ask the wiring on starter I have 3. One positive battery cable. The other is the skinny wire that is tiny bolt. Then a greenish black cable. Where does that one go.

[YOVlogs]

I drove my car in a heavy rain for more than 2 hrs and after that when I starts it just click ones no cranking sound I hope it's the same issue or may be rainy water damage the starter motor
