stuck starter? help needed. 444-544

posted by  someone claiming to be barongrey on  Sat Feb 26 14:12 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Check your battery connections, especially the positive cable. Also remove the end attached to the starter and clean it before snugging it down.

I'd run across this problem fairly often when I drove a tow truck; frequently I could get it to start by twisting the starter cable clockwise at the place where it attaches to the starter.

Nearly everyone remembers to clean and tighten the battery ends of the cables; not many think to do the same on the other ends!

Good luck, and keep us posted!
