Re: Check gages light/trouble with starter/car not starting

Easy to find the problem if you have and can use a multimeter. It's not hard to learn how and one can be had for $10. If you're getting 12vdc both at the primary battery connection and solenoid connections at the starter with the key at start, then your starter is bad at it's likely the solenoid contacts that are causing the headache. The contacts are easy to change and generally cost half the price of a good starter. Short of all that, turn the key to start and tap the starter with a hammer. If it starts, change the starter or the contacts.
