Had a bad starter. Replaced with new starter and...
One day trying to leave for work and my car didnt start, but I had power still. I go on Acurazine and all the symptoms I have are the same as others with bad starters.
So I buy a new one, replace it myself and it starts right up first try. Then later on when I go to leave and start my car back up it does the same exact thing as the old starter did and click but no turning over.
I have a new battery, cleaned the posts and connectors anyways and even re-did the whole install but still no luck.
Anyone have any ideas? Maybe its something besides the starter? I'm lost and frustrated.

Turn the lights on and try and start, if lights dim considerably, problem with power, but if no start and the lights remain bright, starter, especially if you hear the starter's infamous click. If you have a volt meter through it on the battery to check condition. A-Z starters leave a lot to be desired.

Tried the lights and they didn't dim. So I took the new starter and tested it and the gear that engages the flywheel isn't coming out. Guess they sent me a faulty starter unfortunately.

Guess you'd better check the replacement before doing the install. Good luck.

not sure about the newer stuff, but on the older honda starters all that ever went bad normally was the brushes. new brushes are under 10 bucks a piece (need 2) and pretty easy to replace, then your not stuck with some piece of shit reman starter that you have to replace every other day.
same story with honda alternators.
