I been having a problem with the starter I had to crank it sometimes for like 10-30 mins before it would start, but yesterday when I was cranking the clicking noise I usually hear just stopped everything else works Electrical but the noise is gone. I replaced the starter my self and still no noise. Can you help me out.

 

Just to clarify, when you turn the key do you get nothing but a click or is the starter rotating the engine but not starting? What model year? Saw your private message.

 

When I turn the key yesterday it was clicking but after turning it for about 30 mins the clicking just stopped the aaa guy tried everything and the clicking didnt come back. It's a 2002 dodge caravan se 3.3L v6

 

Week battery. Poor starter/battery connection. Failed starter relay (once the clicking stopped).

> Have the battery load tested. Clean the connections

> Swap the starter relay with another like relay on the panel.

> Remove the relay and jumper pins #30 and 87 at the relay socket together. The starter should immediately spin with your keys in your pocket.

 

Can not find the #30 and 87 jumper pins to remove. When I switched the relays you can hear a click on the bored but its not doing anything didnt know if that means anything.

 

I need clarifation on the #30 and 87, are they pins numbered ??? I only see the pins with there amps on them. Would be able to give an location on what they are next to or at.

 

Also have been in contact with some auto stores they are saying it might be the key ignition.

 

Remove the relay. Turn the relay upside down. The numbers are next to the pins molded into the plastic. Now matchup those numbers to the pins on the relay socket on the panel. Jumper 30 and 87 together using a small piece of wire or paper clip. To test the ignition switch connect a meter or test light to pin #86 at the relay socket. Should see 12vdc with the switch at start.

 

I got your message too. I would have written the same thing as cougar too.
