How does the starter wiring work?
When a car won’t start, the typical driver is conditioned to think it’s either the battery or the starter. Yet, from the ignition switch to the starter solenoid and the starter to the battery, the wiring system is often an overlooked component that may be causing a problem.
Does the wiring need to be replaced?
Before buying new parts willy-nilly, it’s a good idea to examine the wires that connect the battery and the starter. It could be that where the positive post of the battery is connected, the wiring is bad since vapor venting from the battery makes this spot vulnerable. Another place to check is the wiring from the ignition switch to the solenoid.
What are my options?
The vehicle can be taken to an auto repair shop, and depending on the complexity of the problem, a skilled owner may be able to identify and/or fix the problem. There are numerous automotive websites that advertise repair services, and some offer DIY diagnostic instructions. Other vendors sell parts, service manuals or how-to books.
