Auto transmission Replace starter and battery but engine wont turn over. Bendix sound like it is engaging but wont turn over motor. Motor will rotate by hand via harmonic balencer but not with starter. Secret relay that is bad? Fried wire somewhere? This is driving me crazy....arggggg. Any help would be appreciated.

Then clean the terminal really good. Might no be a bad idea to even trace the neg cable down the block, unbolt it & clean that area as well ltstevo New User Sep 3, 2009, 12:27 PM Post #3 of 4 (1680 views) Re: starter problems Sign In I am pretty sure the battery is good as I swapped it from another vehicle which starts without problem. I didn't think about tracing the ground cable though. I check the volts going into the starter and it showed 18 v on the meter. guess I give the ground cable a try. Thanks LTSTEVO Loren Champlain Sr Veteran / Moderator Sep 4, 2009, 9:20 AM Post #4 of 4 (1672 views) Re: starter problems Sign In Lt.; You may want to recheck that voltage reading. You are dealing with a 12V system, here. You should have 12V (or equal to battery voltage) at the large terminal on the starter. When the key is turned to the 'start' position, you should have equal voltage to the small terminal on the starter. If you don't, then you'll need to start working backwards from there..Relay, ignition switch, ect.
