Nafir Alvarez I have the same problem. It sparked and sparked then
nothing. Nothing at all. I can’t get a light to come on no chimes or
nothing, just clicks. 

Mandy Lopez says:

quick question, is it possible to put a starter in backward or wrong, cause
I had a friend saying she put the starter in backward and when she would
start her car it mad a loud sound like it was hitting something…if you
ask me I would think its the flywheel not connecting the teeth smooth…is
this possbile

Nafir Alvarez says:

What happens if you do the old screw driver trick and the truck doesn’t
start. All you see is sparks and the Solenoid just clicks.

Very nice thanks much, Harder to get to when the Solenoid is attached to
the starter in a tight spot such as my Dodge Ram 1500 I would never buy
another Dodge Truck

Thanks soo much I just watched your video and fixed my truck within an hour
of watching it. The screwdriver trick was great to get me to napa auto for
the part thanks again

Matt Bjork says:

condescending yet quite comical. very helpful as well!

Tom Hoehler says:

Good troubleshooting, but on most cars, the solenoid is down on the
starter. Still, if the solenoid is bad, the repair is the same, except you
have to pull the starter. The main reason you disconnect the negative
battery terminal is to prevent you from getting badly burned or burning up
the wires by a short circuit. Thanks for posting.
