Bad Starter?

plak424 · January 10th, 2012, 06:35 PM

So my car didnt start a little while ago, but was fine after I jumped it for about a week. Then, same thing happened again, but the problem is that now even when the battery is hooked up to another car it doesnt start. The lights turn on and the radio works too. The solonoid is clicking but the engine wont turn over. I checked the oil so it wasn't a blown head gasket. Do you think its the starter or possibly something else?

It could be the starter, but also check for corrosion on the battery terminals. If the battery
terminals are OK you might take the starter out and have it tested. Also have the battery tested.
