Alright before anything else is said 2008 = BULLSHAT!

ok so i got my car back from the mechanic, and before giving it to them it was starting fine, car did drain the battery when it was off due to electrical issues but they were going to be taken care of today... but cant because ------ car wont start.

I boosted it, its not a battery problem
I checked if anything else could be not connected that was a negative

All that happens when i try starting is i hear 1 click after i turn the key but no spark! what coulld it be???

I hear it might be the main relay but i couldnt tell ya, it was running great last night. Drove it home all the way from Keswick no problems.

 

It started when you boosted it?

 

no i tried it didnt do anything just that same 1 click

 

Could be the starter, try a bump-start.

Also, if the battery is really drained a boost won't help it. I've been there, done that. You need to trickle charge it. Stick a volt-meter on it and see what the reading is?

 

i told him it could be a bad ground from the starter itself, ignition switch, or the neutral safety switch. since he has an alarm.

if it was the main relay engine should still turn over but no spark, but the motor dosnt turn over at all. just click once

 

Time to break out the multimeter!

 

I wish I had one! Anyone in Brampton willing to come down and give me a hand!?? i need this friggin car working so bad right now. 647 829 8104 give me a shout!!!!!! lol

 

No luck bump-starting it?

 

nope

 

What happened when you tried?

 

when i put directly positive to positive nothing really happened
so i decided to try puting the positive from the batt to the negative on the starter to see if its grounded properly, it was it sparked, and the starter moved. Car still wont start though. Thusee said it may be the neutral switch on the alarm that can be ------- everything up, anyone know about this???something about making my car think its in gear and not allowing a start.

 

Do you have a remote starter?

 

yes he does
i was thinking something about the safety switch, and the ground for the starter, because the tranny was replaced so the guy could have not tightend something proper...

 

If that was the case you could still bump-start it. Unless the entire ignition was disabled, not just the starter.

 

-main relay
-starter
try getting somone to bang on your starter while you crank it.

 

Time to get a new starter.

 

^ I think so too, I changed the main relay, no effect. starter must be friend Anyone have one laying around for dirt cheap!? lol are all b series starters the same??

 

a new car?

 

lol ye i was waiting for a dumbass comment. GTFO POSSAY!

 

only bitches buy new cars

 

man your haven alot of troubles with this car.. but from what a am reading it sounds like it has to be you starter or loose conection towards the starter.. but if it clicks 1 then the starter is probley seased
