Searched for a good while, got loads of results but nothing really helpful.
So the other day I went to start my car and nothing would happen. No click, just nothing. I figured my starter shit the bed because a few weeks prior, I had to give the starter a few taps with a hammer to get it to work. I pulled the starter, brought it to a shop to get it rebuilt and they called back saying the starter was fine but the solenoid was bad. So the solenoid was replaced with a new oem one.
Anyways, I put the rebuilt starter in, turn the key, and still nothing. Battery is good. Connections are good. Regrounded the block and checked other grounds, all good. When I run 12V to the signal wire, the starter clicks repeatedly. This is why I regrounded the block and checked other grounds, and still after it does this.
So this is where I'm at:
starter is good
battery is strong
connections and grounds are good
ignition switch is good
it is not seized
what the ---- is the problem? This is incredibly frustrating.
