car wont start

[sidewaysin916]

k first of all i have a pretty stock ka24de.

i got a pretty weird thing going on. for some reason my starter is soooooo weak it cant turn my engine over. cranks slower than slow. never heard a starter crank this slow before.

for the past i dunno month or so ive had a relay problem. when i turn my ignition on my windows work for about 5 seconds then dont have any power for about 10 seconds. then i hear a click under the dash and they work. right now im hearing this click under my dash every 15 seconds even when the ignition is off. i dont know if this is part of the starting issue or not. i suspected it being the ignition relay because its where the clicking was coming from but when i took it out the clicking was still there. it was actually this little guy a couple inches away from the ignition relay.

it goes where that gap is.


anyone have any clue whats going on? my battery is fully charged. my starter has never had any trouble cranking. started perfect last night and it even started perfect earlier today when i went to get food. after being home for about 45 minutes i went out to pull my car in the garage and it just barely started i was like wtf? went to start it again and it tried to start but couldnt. went out about 10 minutes later and it barely started again. turned it off and a couple minutes later i tried it again and it wouldnt start. its been dead for the past few hours.

sometimes I check for all fuses to be in proper working order

checked fuses a couple weeks ago when i was trying to figure out what was wrong with my cd player and everything was fine. i took my starter out and gonna bum a ride to kragen today and make sure its not just the starter going out.

please elaborate on what fixed your issues so someone else who's having a similar problem may have something they can inspect

thx and good job on fixing it =]

well for the starting issue it was just the starter. im not sure how my starter went from good to dead after 45 minutes of being parked but it did. and for the relay issue it was doing all that weirdness like not allowing my windows to work and almost blowing the accessory relay just because my horn fuse wasnt in.... lol
