Not want to start

The click is probably the solenoid making contact trying to engage the starter...and lacks power to crank engine. Why can't you change battery?

If you did put a new battery in and the starter just clicks, and then put in a new starter and solenoid and it still clicks and does not turn over the engine it just may be the engine itself is frozen. (worst case) or the fly wheel is damaged (not likely and second worse case). It takes a lot of drain on the battery to turn over the motor via the starter. Try a jump start and see it that works. It it does, it is not the starter. I'd then check the battery, the battery connections, the cables to the starter and the connections. Make sure all the battery connections are clean and snug, also all the wires are not shorting out along the way. If a jump start and a second new battery and cable check does not fix it, write back and we'll move on.

Oh, was the battery and starter/solenoid new? If not, have the battery and replacement starter checked, and the new ones if it was new checked also.

I misread that..my bad. I read 'can't change battery' instead of 'we change(d)...' , but my fault, not making excuses

2001 blazer want start put new battery in starter too. Has be jumped. All time do I need new selanoide or do I need alternator

Hope this helps with a great explanation of what to look for. The typical automotive starter system consists of the ignition switch, the transmission's neutral switch, the starter solenoid, the starter motor, the battery and wiring. If you are having a problem with your starter, it's most likely due to one of the common reasons below: Find local businesses for Auto Repair & Service Insufficient battery charge Defective or out of adjustment neutral switch Defective starter solenoid Defective ignition switch Excessive voltage drop Defective starter motor Most of these problems are easy to pinpoint and equally easy to repair, even for the ambitious do-it-yourself mechanic with only basic hand tools and simple test equipment. Insufficient Battery Charge A low battery charge is one of the most common starter problems. In this case, you turn the ignition key to the start position and you hear the starter solenoid click closed, but the starter motor fails to turn the engine over. A quick test of the battery's condition is to turn your headlights on and watch them as you crank the engine again. If you see them dim noticeably or go out, the chances are that you have a badly discharged battery. To double-check this diagnosis, connect a digital multimeter (DMM) across the battery and watch the readout. It's best to have someone else crank the engine over as you run the test. If the voltage drops below 12.4 volts, have the battery charged. Recharge the battery and test again. Defective Starter Solenoid Switch or Starter Motor You hear the starter solenoid click close when you turn the ignition switch to start, but the starter doesn't crank the engine. This common problem could be a caused by a defective starter solenoid, a defective starter motor, an excessive voltage drop in the starter cables or a low battery charge. Use the headlight test once again to see if the starter solenoid is closing the starter motor circuit contacts. If the lights dim or go out the starter solenoid has closed the circuit and the starter is drawing current. If the lights don't dim, either the starter solenoid is defective or the starter motor is defective. To confirm that the starter solenoid switch is the problem or to eliminate it as the problem, all you need is a heavy screwdriver with a well-insulated handle. With the car in neutral, the ignition switch in the run position and the parking brake applied, bridge across the two thick brass posts on the starter solenoid switch with the screwdriver. If the starter motor now cranks the engine over, the solenoid switch is the problem. If the starter motor still fails to crank the engine, the starter motor itself is the problem Open Solenoid Coil You switch the ignition switch to its start position and nothing happens. You listen closely but can't hear the starter solenoid click closed. It could be that you have a bad starter solenoid coil, a defective or ill-adjusted neutral safety switch, a bad ignition switch or a broken wire. Checking the starter solenoid coil is easy; using your DMM, touch one probe to a good ground and the other to the small terminal on the solenoid. Now have a helper turn the ignition switch to the start position. If you read battery voltage the ignition switch and neutral switch are okay and the problem is the solenoid switch. No Voltage at the Solenoid Switch's Primary Terminal While your helper holds the ignition switch in the start position, check for voltage on both sides of the neutral safety switch. If there's voltage on the ignition switch side but not on the starter solenoid side, try adjusting the neutral switch contacts. Otherwise, replace the switch. No voltage on the ignition switch side of the neutral switch could mean a broken wire or a defective ignition switch. Excessive voltage drop problems are usually caused by dirt and corrosion buildup between the battery cable clamps and the battery post. They can also be caused by loose connections somewhere else in the starter circuit. In this case, clean and tighten all connections.

I am have a issue with my 99 blazer, when we go to start in it turn and makes the sound like it wants to start but wont crank over and when it does it doesnt wana keep going please help

my 89 blazer cranks good but will not start . i changed the battery and wiers thats all.

89blazer. Have the plugs checked for spark and power. Your coil may be bad, or the fuel is not getting to the injectors. You may have a filter in need of replacing, or your pump is bad. You need air, fuel and spark to get an engine started and running. You also may have a bad electrical circuit board gone bad. It may need to be put on the computer to read and system to eliminate the electronics.

I have 02 Trailblazer ltz 4.2 straight 6. I tried everything I replaced the starter with 1 and then bought another one to make sure that one wasn't bad. I changed the relay fuse switch, I replaced the ignition switch. I put a brand new battery in it and still just does the click thing. I tested the cable to the starter has proper voltage 9 to 12 volts I tried shimming the starter around nothing I really like to get this thing going. I thought it could be the neutral safety switch but it seems like it still tries to start in neutral and park. Really in a rough spot here need my suv.

Have an 02 blazer new starter but won't start everything an my car come on work just fine but won't start help please

I'm dealing with this right now. It'll start fine the first time I try to start but after it suits a while it won't for a long time. But after it finally starts again. The third or fourth time after. It starts. I'm 75% sure it's my solenoid

I am dealing with this too, I have replaced the starter and alternator and battery and it still doesn't want to start, it has been working just fine and then one day it just wouldn't start, it cranks but wont turn over.

Splash_32301. I am not being critical, but if in MY terminology, if the starter turns the engine, it "cranks" and the engine turns over. Are you saying the engine will turn over but you get no starting? It may be electrical, or fuel related. You need fuel, spark, and air to start the vehicle. Take one from the equation, and there is crank, no start. Unless you are set-up to test the equipment, it should be tested by a certified mechanic. It will cost, but in the long run, throwing parts and hoping to hit the bad part is a throw-way of good parts and money. My first goes would to check the spark at the plugs. When turning over the engine, you should get a spark from the plug wire. My older brother always used me to hold it. If there is spark, next make sure there is fuel flow to the injectors. Are the fuses good to the fuel system? No blockage in the filters or lines? Have the timing checked also. Have your codes read to see if there is any issues with the smog system, as it will shut down the engine also. The problem may be a simple fix, but hard to find. Have fun and good luck.

the security system messed up. Take the steering wheel cover off to where you see the key wire. Look for the orange with the black strip. Don't cut it in half just expose the wires. Then look for the yellow wire. Cut it in half. Leave the one going to the me alone. Now exposes the yellow wire. Now take the yellow wire and wrap it around the black orange wire. Tape them together good. Now turn your key on but don't try to start it. Just turn it on where your dash lights show. Let it set there for 5 or 10 minutes. Or until you security light stop blinking. Turn off for 30 seconds. Then repeat 5 to 10 until it stops blinking again. Keep doing this until the light either stop blinking or you don't see it any more. You are reprogramming your computer and over ridding your security system. DO THIS FIRST. It is not your fuel pump. Or any thing else. Don't spend that money when you can go it for free

I'm dealing with something related, I was driving on the freeway and one oil hose came out from my radiator, I was on the traffic I can't stoped immediately so I keep driving for around 2 miles and then I turn off the engine because it has no strong, I put the hose back and I add transmission fluid! But won't start I replaced the battery still no luck! Clicks but no start! Somebody help me please!its a Chevy blazer 99

JESUSSOSA, What you're saying is the transmission line to the oil cooler came off and transmission fluid was lost. After replacing the fluid the car would not start. I'm not sure, but does the transmission need to be re-booted with the Blazer computer before it will restart? Check into that. Second, did any of the transmission oil get on the starter? Perhaps a good cleaning may solve the issue. Third, if you can get a computer reader on the Blazer, see what that tells you. That's all I can suggest. Computer shutting down to protect the transmission when the fluid got low is on other manufacturers vehicles, and this may be the case here. Call the Chevy service section and ask.

my 1998 GMC blazer v6 vortec,had a intake gasket replace ,so we also tuned it up wire plugs,rotor distributor, cap oil change ,,we put every thing back together,,hooked up battery, but it showed spark when we hooked up the neg,of battery. it still won't start ,it burned out three starters ,melted a few wires from under neith ,we replaced, them but still won't crank over

so I need help ?

Was there a solution to the 2000 bazer with no start even after replacing starter and battery? Mine just clicks every time even with new battery and jump start. I heard of the ignition module being the problem. Does anyone know for sure if this will fix the problem?

Check the Wiring coming from the Starter. They are known to go bad and sometimes needs replaced. Also if the transmission is starting to wear out the fly wheel sometimes can miss- align due to the bands getting wore. If you pop the starter off try painting the gear engaging gear lightly so you can see if it is proper align going in.

I have a 96 Blazer and wow where do I start so my buddy knocked soilnoid off starter rigger a wire to a lever to put up by me in the cab and two wires I have to tap together while pulling lever to starter then something with the fuel pump was tricky so wires that up to cab and neg to frame ok so now the whole process I turn key on pull lever vise grip the negative wire for fuel pump to my frame and tap starter posy with fuel pump posy and neg together and it will turn over it ran I just don't know what I can do to eliminate all them dangerous wires please help me

I have a 99 blazer doing the same thing new starter alt Solenoid. Flywheel is fine. It has to be electrical. It doesn’t do it all the time. Only when it is hot out. Idk what it is but I’m still trying to find out. If someone figures it out it would be amazing. Idk what to do next except replacement of wires and relays. That gets expensive.
