I had this problem.2000 Solara 2.2 . With key out of ignition, the starter just started running. Melted rubber boots on starter, and caught ground (negative) battery cable on fire. Went to NAPA bought a new starter with solenoid and new battery cable. That fixed it. They recommended a starter relay also because that could have been source of problem. So I replaced the relay just for insurance. Scary. Never had that with my 1968 chevy.

Sounds like either a broken ignition rod (located in the ignition switch which engages/disengages ignition) or a bad solenoid which controls the current leading to the starter. Check the starter/solenoid first before taking apart the ignition.

Sounds like you have a bad starter solenoid. Replace JUST the solenoid...save money....that'll fix your problem.....unless you just want to replace the whole starter assembly!

I have a 2002 dump truck 7.3 new starter solenoid works when I turn the key but the starter will not turn over and there's power to the starter

Defective starter. The brushes inside the starter have worn out completely. Buy a 100% totally rebuilt starter.

I have a 2000 toyota celica gts and it wont start or turn over the starter will make like a whinning sound but its not trying to crank the engine maybe its the starter but just in case its not anybody have...

Likely either the starter or solenoid. Solenoid is a combination of relay and actuator, pushing the starter's gear into engagement with your flywheel.

Engine won't turn over on 1992 ford ranger

Check starter for 12 volts while trying to start, if 12 volts is present replace the starter, if not check the starter relay, starter fuse, and ignition control module.

In the meantime, turn the key to the on position and grab a screwdriver with a rubber handle. Open the hood and find your starter solenoid (located on the starter). Touch the 2 terminals on the starter solenoid together using the screwdriver. Be cautious to prevent damage to your starter or to yourself.

If starter still doesn't turn over, check and replace your battery.

When i turn the key to turn on only the lights and power work car

check the starter solenoid or the starter! You can run a jumper cable from the hot only on the battery to the starter and touch the hot bolt on the starter soleniod and if it dont turn over then the starter or soleniod is out. Put a bold into the end of the jumper cable so you can touch the starter easier!

Starter won't turn over engine

I know it sounds dumb, but by turning over, you mean that the engine turns but does not start? Or, that the starter turns but the engine does not turn (spin with the starter engaged and running). If engine turns with starter, check spark & fuel. If starter turns and engine does not, check the teeth on the flywheel. if any are missing or worn off, it will give that problem. If starter engages but engine seems to be "locked up", remove spark plugs and attempt to turn it by hand. Any coolant on plugs indicates a blown head gasket or cracked cylinder head. If engine does not turn by hand with plugs out, likely you have a bearing or other "lower end" problem.

1991 nissan stanza starter problems

Hi Jim.

When you turn the key, you should at least hear the starter solenoid click. When you turn the key the ignition switch sends 12 volts to the Starter solenoid ( really just a relay). The Solenoid closes and applies 12 volts (at a high current) to the starter motor to crank the engine. If you have a way to measure voltage, you should get 12 volts at the small terminal on the starter solenoid. The solenoid is mounted on the top of the starter motor.If you get 12 volts but no cranking, the solenoid is not working. If you get 12 volts and the starter doesn't crank the starter is defective. At this [point take a small hammer and tap the starter motor, not hard, just medium. Sometimes this will cause the starter motor to catch next time you turn the key. Best bet is to remove the starter motor (with solenoid attached) and take it to an Auto Zone type store where they can check it out for you. Be dure you disconnect the ground terminal of the battery before you attempt to remove the starter motor.

Hope this helps Good luck loringh PS Please leave a rating for me if appropriate Thks

The engine will not turn over at all

Possibly could be the starter. About the only this I can tell you to try would be to tap on the starter wile someone else is trying to start it. If if cranks, you will need a starter. This is the easyist way to check it without a machine.
