Who has experienced there starter solenoid clicking?

Post by Rodlucci »

The other symptom I am experiencing is the CD player resets the disc's when trying to start the vehicle (only when the solenoid clicks). The starter does not turn, the solenoid clicks only. Anyone experience this? The car is an 03 Auto with 75K miles. The battery tests good, the cables to the starter seem clear of issues (checked all wires to the starter when I removed the battery) andthe starter tests good. I don't see any visible issues. Help is greatly appreciated!

If all the parts are good individually, then check for corrosion on your battery terminals/cables,. If they're good, check for a good electrical connection on the far end of the battery ground cable.

^^ agreed with this.

I have aftermarket terminals and at one point, the ground was a little lose. had to tighten it up a bit and got the sucker to start. well, that was my situation. :)
