1997 Chevrolet Silverado C 1500 5.7

Asked by Elizabeth Jun 24, 2018 at 06:47 PM about the 1997 Chevrolet C/K 1500 Silverado Extended Cab RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Truck was kicking back so I took starter off and
had it tested, It was fine. So now I'm looking at
removing fly wheel. I put the old starter back in to
move the truck for the bigger job. When I hooked
the battery back up the son of a gun turned over,
no key in ignition and in off position.  I'm thinking
when he tested the starter it cycled to an open
position.  Is this correct? How do I solve this issue?
Do I need to remove and hook up cables and
reposition the gears? Thanks for any and all help.

Dubble check the wires sounds like a positive wire was hooked up to the wrong side good luck

Checked. I only removed two wires. Both different sizes so they went right back on the same way they came off.
