so i took my starter off to get the plate back on the tranny that covers the torque converter i tottally forgot to disconnect the starter and the starter bolt touched the block n sparked now the truck dont wanna start i checked all the fuses and bought a new starter relay and nothing all you hear is the starter clicking i brought the starter and battery to get tested and said both were fine what could this be?

 

It sounds like the fuse for the starter is blown, although let me ask why you didn't disconnect the battery. I was always taught to do that when working with electrical.

 

Check for a burnt wire/fuseable link too.

Might even need to feel the wires for firmness, make sure they aren't burnt internally and the insulation looks good. Just move them around - if one's burnt like that, it should be really brittle.

And yeah - when you start looking - pull the negative battery terminal. Only takes one burnt electrical money pit to remember that. And don't feel bad, I don't know a mechanic in the world who hasn't done that at least once, lol. 98% of the time, you'll have no problems, but the 2% can get costly..

Somethings seemed to be destined for people to learn the hard(er) way - myself most defiantly included. I grounded out the ignition coil on a LeBaron - ended up replacing the coil... didn't help, replaced the computer... didn't help. It was a $5 burnt fusible link and you can't return the computer once it's installed, so that was a $150.00 class in caution for me.

 

Yeah, I didn't mean for it to sound the way it did. I just re-read my post and I sounded like a dick, sorry about that. I almost killed my self hooking up 3 1000cca batteries in a dump truck, I forgot to connect the positives then the negative and grounded my wrench on the last battery, took a nice size chunk out of the wrench. I'm lucky all it did was blow my hand away since I wasn't wearing gloves. Some lessons are learned the hard way, unfortunately.

 

Just throwin this out there, you checked the alternator?

 

i got it to work last night it was a connection problem with the thicker wire on the starter

 

Glad it was a simple fix.
