No Start, No Crank, No "Click"
Monday, October 24, 2011 8:44 PM
Problem - 03 cavi manual
Started up this morning to go to work like normal.
After work, came out, got in, turned the key, nothing.
Turn key, all dash lights come on like normal, fuel pump primes, turn to start, and nothing. No click, no crank, nothing.
Theft light is NOT flashing.
Out of pure curiosity, I replaced the clutch position switch cause it was a $5 part. Did not fix the problem.

Battery voltage is 12.8~12.6. Battery is just over a year old. Fuses check good. Voltage on both sides.

Have not had this problem before. thinking it might be the starter - just said f-you, I ain't workin no more.

Thoughts?

Need more info, let me know.

Mileage is 103k miles if that matters.

Has no aftermarket stereo or anything either. Factory deck, no amps, no subs or anything.

It might be the starter. Are you able to push start it?

Mine did that check the wires that go to your solenoid.

Can't push start - Have nobody to push, heh.

Solenoid sounds right.

Starter time I'm thinking.

Your battery can hold enough power to turn stuff on, but not enough to crank it. Typically it will click too if that is the case...

My thinking is going towards starter..

Yup, it was the starter. Just bout fell out of the car. She wasn't looking so pretty anymore. The solenoid was the problem I believe. It was pretty rusty, and the bolts were nasty. They all broke coming out.
New starter and she's good now.
