beatupchevy - You are letting yourself off easy by calling yourself a jerk. If there is a moderator on this website, they should strip you of all of your 25,985 reputation points. JORDAN - It has been a couple of years since you submitted your issue and nobody else has responded since the jerk left his mark. Maybe this reply will help others.I hope you resolved the problem. For others who are looking for a resolution, don't give up. There are many resources available online. And there are honest mechanics out there. Now to the issue at hand: -Things to look for include bad connections. It's not always a failed starter that causes the starter to be inoperative. If possible, bypass a suspect component (Relay, switch, etc.) and use a jumper on the wire harness connector to simulate what the component is expected to do (To make the connection that the component is expected to make.). It is very important to connect the correct terminals in the connector. Failure to do so will produce a useless result and could injure you or damage your car. - Corroded ground wire connections cause problems. Any place where you see wires connected to the chassis, engine block, etc. is likely to be a ground wire that is used to complete an electrical circuit. Take the wires off and use a wire brush to clean the wire terminals, mounting stud, and attaching hardware such as a nut. Clean everything well before reconnecting. Protect the connection with the appropriate water barrier. - Bad connections at plug-in components like relays, and fuses. Electrical connectors and splices are also areas of concern. Loose connections often cause intermittent problems. I am on this website right now looking for some clues to resolve my problem, but there are so many possible issues that could cause a problem that we have to be methodical. There are ways to test some components without removing them. I tested my starter by removing the starter relay and providing power to the same connector that gets power from the relay when it is energized. The starter cranked the engine, so I know it is good. While I was at the underhood fuse and relay panel, I pounded the palm of my hand on top of the relays and fuses and tried to start the car. On more than one occasion I was able to start the car, so I suspect a loose connection or a bad relay at the underhood fuse and relay panel. I'm still working on it. Gotta go now. Good luck, everyone.
