1996 Del Sol wont turn over when trying to start
I tried to start my car and it didn’t even turn over. I replaced the
battery, had the alternator and starter checked, and checked all of my fuses. Still couldn’t get it to crank at all. My lights worked when I placed the key to the on position but that was it. It just wouldn’t turn over. Any ideas would be grateful!!!!! -- Posted at author's request, using http://www.AutoBoardz.com interface Articles individually verified to usenet standards.

When the brushes get worn down (or commutator is burnt) the solenoid can't get a ground so it won't even make a big CLICK. Once you get it going, plan to get the starter overhauled with new brushes or swapped. Guessing your DelSol has high mileage? 'Curly' |
