When I turn the key the engine doesn't turn over. I have full power in the on position but when I turn the key to start it up...I hear a flickering noise and the lights flutter.

I tried to jump start it...
I checked the fuses...
I had the starter replaced a few months ago..

It just feels like there no power going to the starter..

Thanks!

 

must be the lose cable going to the battery i check that

main relay dude. 65 bucks at the dealer.

you guys are terrible trouble shooters

haha

 

electrical part of starter probably! cheap to fix

 

if its flickering the engine light and making a rapid sound its the main relay. How many more times do i have to say it. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE STARTER!!!!

Its either the main relay, or its the ground on the thermostat housing for the main engine harness.

Either will cause those sorts of problems. If you check the battery terminals and they are fine, then the relay is your issue.

If its a battery issue more times then never the car wont crank any sort of power even when you key it on. Id say its the relay. My car is a 98 and ive replaced it 2 times already. Its a shitty designed part.

Its not the starter

Its not the starter


Did i mention...

Its not the starter? Because i just wanted to let you know its not the starter.

 

I had the same problem last summer and it was just one of the wires on the battery terminal that wasn't fully connected. I connected it firmly and the problem was gone.

 

geez all he said is electrical part. it may be the wires are lose.even though if the starter is replace a few months ago and can can be replace.
